Yesterday I drove the motorhome 117 miles from Chehalis, Washington to Woodburn, Oregon. I’ll depart here later this morning.

 

Upon arrival I parked at the very friendly Eagles Club #3284 in Woodburn, Oregon. I’ve parked here several times in the past. They have a 30 amp electrical hookup.

Medford, Oregon -Day 2 (GA614)

——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————-

The motorhome is parked in Thousand Trails RV Resort in Seaside, Oregon. I’m scheduled to depart here June 2nd.

 

 

Since my RVing life is changing (see above), I’m starting to re-visit previously visited places. So rather than constantly re-blogging past entries, I’ve decided to do something different.

  In 2011-2013, Mary and I did a 682 day, 12,679 miles in the motorhome and 8,000 miles in the Bronco, circumnavigation of the United States, which I called The Great Adventure. I called it so because other than my oldest granddaughter’s high school graduation in June in Connecticut, I didn’t know where we would be going or when we would be there!

So, unless I do something really different and unusual warranting a new blog entry, I’ll be posting entries from that trip.

This entry was posted October 8, 2013…

 

 

The motorhome is still parked  at Eagles Club #2093 at Medford, Oregon. When I left here yesterday morning, I didn’t know I’d be back for another night.

 

Yesterday morning I drove the motorhome south eight miles to a garage where I had an 8:00 AM appointment…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

The motorhome is a 2006 model year, but the chassis was built in August 2005. That means the cooling system and heater hoses were more than eight years old. The manual for the motorhome says to change after five years, but somehow I overlooked it.

 

The mechanic told me they were ready to be changed. I expected to be on the road by noon, however the garage had problems finding the right hoses and I didn’t leave the garage until after 3:00 PM.

 

The next stage of the trip is to arrive at Redding, California which is 148 miles crossing over the Siskiyou Mountains that reach over 4,000 feet elevation rather quickly. I always set aside fours hours to make this journey and I no longer care to drive after dark, so I chose to stay in Medford another night.

 

Another factor in staying is whenever you open a vehicle’s coolant system, you need to assure that there are no remaining air pockets as the engine may overheat especially when climbing a steep grade like I’ll do this morning. By driving the motorhome to the Eagles Club and then back to the garage this morning so they can recheck their work, should remove any remaining air pockets. I expect only a brief stop and should be climbing the mountain range by 10:00 AM.

 

 

 

 

 

They allowed me to stay in the motorhome yesterday while the work was being done with the provision I did not leave it and be in the work area. In the next photo you can see the hole on the floor where the mechanic gains access to the top of the engine. The remaining work is done by crawling under the engine on the ground. It was a nasty job that I could have done, but would rather pay others to do it…

 

 

 

 

 

In this garage they repair the big 18 wheeler tractors. If you have never seen under the hood what they look like, you can now as seen from my motorhome yesterday…

 

I spent the remainder of afternoon reading, taking a nap, doing some computer work and visiting with the local Eagles members. I’ll continue my southerly journey later this morning. Google Earth is telling me I’ve got 393 miles to go until I arrive at Mary’s home at Murphys, California.

 

Last night I watched another old movie from the 1930’s. This time it was 1931 – Cimmaron starring Irene Dunne.. Another classic!

 

Enjoying friendly Eagles Clubs is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the 166 miles from Springfield to Medford, Oregon.

 

The day started sunny and clear but it wasn’t long that I ran into patchy fog as I drove south on Interstate Highway 5…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Traffic for the most part was moderately light…

 

 

 

 

 

And quite scenic in many places…

 

 

 

 

 

After 3.5 hours of driving I arrived at Eagles Club #2093 in Medford, where I parked at the very rear of their parking lot…

 

 

 

 

 

Once again the electrical hookups were back-in only. Since I have an early morning appointment a few miles down the road to get some work done on the motorhome, I elected to back the Bronco in first and then the motorhome. Now I’m all hooked-up and ready to roll first thing in the morning…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette window photo…

 

I spent the afternoon reading, taking a nap, doing some computer work and visiting with the local Eagles members. I’ll continue my southerly journey later this morning. Google Earth is telling me I’ve got 393 miles to go until I arrive at Mary’s home at Murphys, California.

 

The sun finally broke through the patchy morning fog by mid-morning. Yesterday’s high temperature was 78 degrees with mostly sunny skies. At 5:00 AM when I arose thus morning it was 47 degrees! Pretty cool.

 

Last night I watched another old movie from the 1930’s. This time it was 1939 – Union Pacific starring Barbara Stanwyck and Joel Macrae. Another classic!

The motorhome is parked at Thousand Trails RV resort in Palm Desert, California. I’m scheduled to depart here March 19th.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome the about 75 miles from Grand Rapids to Bemidji, Minnesota.

 

 

We continued traveling along U.S.Highway 2 West.

 

 

The day started with a misting rain…

 

 

 

 

 

As always you may left click upon an image to see an enlarged view and then click once again to see an even larger view…

 

 

 

 

 

Labor Day Weekend Sunday Morning traffic was light…

 

 

 

 

 

Arriving at Bemidji, we stopped at Paul Bunyan Park along the shore of Lake Bemidji. Since we are tourists, we just had to take photos with Paul and Babe…

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just before arriving in Bemidji, we crossed a small creek with a sign that indicated it was the Mississippi River. Then I remembered it starts up here in Northern Minnesota. Here is the Mississippi River as it flows in to Lake Bemidji, about 50 miles south of its origination point…

 

 

You can read about lake Bemidji and the Mississippi River by clicking this Wikipedia link… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Bemidji

 

 

 

 

 

The Mississippi River flows into Lake Bemidji beneath this bridge…

 

 

 

 

 

A 180 degree panoramic photo of Lake Bemidji…

 

 

 

 

 

Nearby there’s a tourist information center with reclaimed marshlands…

 

 

 

 

 

We walked around downtown Bemidji scouting both the Elks and American Legion…neither of which had a parking lot and were closed. The museum was also closed. We doubled-back about three miles and parked at a very Friendly Eagles Airee #351 where they provided both an electrical hookup and a free Wi-Fi signal…

 

 

 

 

 

Here’s the usual dinette photo…

 

 

At the Eagles we participated in a spaghetti dinner benefit for a young man with heavy-duty medical problems. Thank you Eagles Airee for allowing us a very pleasant visit!

 

 

First it’s too hot and then it’s too cold. Yesterday morning was in the low 50’s. Cold enough that with a brisk wind, I had to wear my sweats and down vest while walking around Bemidji! Today is forecast to be 72 degrees. At 5:30 AM this morning it was 55 degrees with 71% humidity. I’ll be so glad to leave the high humidity behind me!

 

 

As a side note…Bemidji is the birthplace of Jane Russell. If you have forgotten who she was…here’s a Wikipedia link to refresh your memory… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jane_Russell

 

 

We’ll continue our westward travel later this morning.

 

 

Enjoying friendly Eagles Airees is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!
