Bet you thought we sold Sadie!

It has been quite a while since we posted.  Between busyness at church and a few mechanical problems compounded by really wet weather all winter, we have just not done much RVing.

We did make a trip to Silverton to celebrate Jill's birthday.  We had taken Sadie to the shop in January, because we thought she might need a new exhaust system.  Turns out it was a small exhaust leak.  There was also a leak in the oil pan gasket.  Problems to be expected with a 24 year old coach! After they were fixed, we needed a Sadie fix, so we went to Silver Spur RV park and had a lovely time exploring Silverton.

This evening we are parked at a beautiful RV park on the shores of Foster Lake, near Sweet Home, OR.  The weather is expected to be sunny and warm for the next several days, and we are both suffering burnout from too many activities. So, we decided to get away for a few days.  This park is quite new and a first class accommodation.  The sites are level concrete pads with full services: water, electric (30A or 50A, depending on the site), sewer, cable TV, and wi-fi.  The grounds are nicely landscaped, although much of the shrubbery needs to grow up a bit.

We had a lovely walk along the edge of the lake this afternoon, followed by a pleasant evening with dinner prepared by my beautiful bride, and Fred and Ginger on the tube! We look forward to more exploring tomorrow.  Expect photos...if the wi-fi will co-operate.  Bandwidth is a bit limited.
