Southern Oregon and Northern California

It's time to turn around and head back to California; we have a family celebration to attend. We leave Tillamook and spend a night in Corvallis before arriving in Eugene, OR. We spend a couple of days in Armitage Park, a Lane County park before moving on.






We're feeling the heat again when we arrive at the Southern Oregon RV Park in Central Point, OR, but we have a leaky bedroom slideout...

Torn gasket which caused a leak

and need to make this stop to get a section of our bedroom slide gasket replaced.

In mid-June we arrive back in California. We're spending a couple of days in Mount Shasta. We've been here before, and it has a very pleasant climate. It's really cool to see that the snow on the mountain has not melted.

Leaving Mount Shasta, we take Hwy 89 and drive through the Lassen National Forest. We stay at Hat Creek Hereford Ranch RV Park in Hat Creek.












This is our home base over Father's Day, which we spend at Burney Falls.

We're into the 2nd week of June, and we need to be in Lake Tahoe by Friday. Heading south, we make one more stop at Merrill Campground at Eagle Lake north of Susanville. Merrill is a Forest Service campground that has some full and partial hook-up sites. We arrive on Monday and hope that we can snag one of these sites. The full hook-up sites were all taken, but we did find a nice site with water and electric. With some maneuvering, Tom also gets some satellite reception!

Merrill has large comfortable sites, and we can see the lake from our site, although there's no real lake access from the campground.

When we get there, we find that there's a group of retired CalFire folks who are having a gathering at Merrill. They do find Tom, and we join them for dinner one night.
