I spent the afternoon reading, taking a nap, doing some computer work and visiting with the local Moose members. I’ll continue my southerly journey later this morning. Google Earth is telling me I’ve got 557 miles to go until I arrive at Mary’s home at Murphys, California.

 

 

The sun finally broke through the fog by mid-afternoon. Yesterday’s high temperature was 56 degrees with partly cloudy/sunny skies. At 5:00 AM when I arose thus morning it was 42 degrees! Brrr! Time to continue putting on some miles heading south!

 

Enjoying friendly Moose clubs is another joy in the life of a full-time RVer!

 

 

 

I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE PHOTOS.

Forecast for today is partly sunny and 69 degrees.

Yesterday I drove the motorhome 95 miles from Woodburn to Springfield, Oregon.

 

Today’s subject…

 

 

Upon arriving in Springfield, I parked at Moose Club #1764, where I have parked a few times in past years. This club has limited parking with electrical hookups…most of which are occupied by locals in storage for $30 a month. That left only two slender places for me to park. I’m the fifth in from the right…

Medford, Oregon

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!

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