Back to Amador County September 20, 2012

Homeward bound!!!  We were leaving Redding about 9:00 am and gave George and Bev a call to see where they were.  They were about to leave Red Bluff in about 45 minutes, so we told them we would catch up with them.  We timed it pretty good and as they were coming on the freeway we were right behind them.  Back in line, George and Bev,  Steve and Sue, me and Ed and Oneta and Bob taking up the rear...  never would have known we split up..  We stopped for breakfast in Corning, rehashed the trip and as always concluded we all had a fine time.  

We got home about 2:00 in the afternoon after a stop and fuel stop.  I headed up to Pine Grove to pick up Beau dog.  I was so glad to see him, I do miss him when we are traveling.  He has a better time playing with Maggie, Koda, Bogie and of course the smallest dog Mini supervising.  He plays hard and does quite a bit of napping when he gets home. 

End of the SIRS 15 travels for 2012.  I am looking forward to 2013 and  travels with good friends.

Until next time....

Redding September 19,2012

We all got back on the road about 9:00 am, stopped for breakfast and when we got to Redding the rest of the group traveled on ahead.  They wanted to check out a RV park in Red Bluff. 

We were going to visit with Jim and Julie, old time friends for many years.  We stayed at the Premiere RV Park Redding, where we have stayed many times before.  This is also a sister resort to the Lincoln location.  Jim and Julie's son and wife Jimmy and Tori along with their son Hunter have started a new business, a 50's type Hamburger Food Wagon.  It is called Fallis Around Town.   Absolutely totally amazing burgers.  They are half pound burgers, fresh beef and so dang yummy.  If anyone is traveling through Redding, check out their facebook page for a schedule of where they will be that day.  You will not regret it at all..   Jimmy and Tori set up the truck outside their parents home, it was fun and the neighborhood folks dropped by for a burger.  I looked out and saw a police car and thought oh noooo they are in trouble... LOL  no way the officers were there for a burger!!!  We all got a chance to visit later that evening and caught up on the last year or so....   I am looking forward to stopping back in Redding on one of our adventures and will be sure to visit the Burger Truck!!

Tomorrow, the last leg of the trip home...

Until next time....

Leaving Oregon... September 18, 2012

Time to head on home.  We all left Premiere RV Resort .  Dorothy and Ed left quite a bit earlier to try and get home a day earlier.  We had an uneventful driving day and arrived at Seven Feathers Casino RV Resort.  This is a beautiful park and they are very accommodating.  The provide transportation to the Casino and the Truck Stop restaurant.  We all went over to have dinner and made a contribution to the establishment.  A very nice evening.. 

Tomorrow, Ed and I are traveling to Redding to visit friends.  Bev, George, Oneta, Bob, Sue and Steve will be traveling a bit further down the road..

Until next time....

Lincoln City Oregon September 17, 2012

This was the official end of the RV trip.  I did not get enough of my ocean fix so extended another day.  George, Bev, Dorothy, Ed, Oneta, Bob, Sue and Steve decided to stay on for another day as well.  Dave, April, Paula and Len had plans to visit some other areas of Oregon and headed out that morning.  

This was a kick back day, just enjoying the sunny weather and getting things ready to head home.  Ed and I took a ride down the road and found another beach to explore.  We took a long walk and came upon a dead otter, icky and sad at the same time.  

That evening those of us that stayed on went to dinner at Inn at Spanish head.  This is where Bev and George had their anniversary dinner. Very nice place and the food was good, an excellent view of the Pacific Ocean.  A very nice way to end the trip.....

Until next time....

Lincoln City Oregon September 16, 2012

It occurred to me that I did not finish the blog for the last trip. Since it has been three months, I am going on memory... watch out!

Sunday, September 16th, it was a cool morning but prediction of another sunny day.  Tom and Trisa had to leave today to attend their grandson's birthday celebration.  Great seeing you both again and hope we can get together again soon.

Today was retail therapy day.  Just so happens there is Tanger  Outlet Mall a couple miles down the road.  The ladies of Amador County are retail deprived so we take every opportunity to shop.  Bev, Sue, Dorothy, Oneta, Paula, April and myself had a very productive day.  This Mall had stores that we do not have at home, one very popular store being the Pendleton Store.  I think everyone enjoyed that store.  We had lunch at the deli and moved on for more shopping.  I really do not remember what the fellas did that day. (This is what I get for procrastinating)

Our group went out to dinner for our official last night at Lincoln City.  It was a BBQ place and will post the name if and when I remember.  Dorothy introduced me to Lemon Drops!  Amazing, just like lemonade until one tries to stand up and walk.  Sorta sneaks up on ya!!  We all had a good time, we have such an amazing travel group.   

 We played some games in the rec room again that evening.  Enjoyed another game of farkle with Bob and Oneta....

Until next time....
