On The Road - Pagosa to Oregon - Jun 1 to Jun 8

So the time has come to head North to Mary's daughter's home in Forest Grove, Oregon.
A stop in Flagstaff allows for a quick drop into Phoenix (without the trailer) to look at the house and pick up a few overlooked items.  Also a really nice lunch with John's daughter Jenn who will be staying in the house this summer.  We camped at the Black Bart's RV Park.  Not the greatest facility ever seen but it happens to be in just the right spot.

Dinner was at the Black Bart's Steakhouse Saloon & Musical Revue and what a pleasant surprise.  It's kind of spendy but as it happens, most of the wait staff are NAU students in music, opera and theater.  There was full time music with the staff taking turns singing Broadway show tunes, etc. and these kids were terrific.  Who Knew?


And then Friday was a full day of visiting with friends in Flagstaff.  Nice to link up again with Arctic Fox RV friends John & Kathy Schmadeke out at the Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument Campground where they are Camp Hosting for the summer.  We hadn't actually seen Rick Ruess and Diana Henry in a whole lotta years going way back to our Sierra Singles days when we first got together.  And finally a wonderful dinner with Shawn Mahoney, Brigid Dineen & Rowan on their amazing patio in the woods above Flagstaff - many thanks guys!



Saturday and Sunday were back on the road again heading for Bakersfield where we are scheduled to pick up Mary's grandson Michael to take him up to Oregon.

Checked into the Bakersfield River Run RV Park which turned out to be a really nice place.
Many thanks to the Nunn Family for a really nice lunch at the local BJ's Brewhouse with Daren and Cheryl Nunn, Darion and Demi Nunn and Savannah Wedemeyer.  It felt really nice to be so welcomed to Bakersfield.

We got a really nice look at Mt. Shasta on the way north in California

And then it's trails end for this segment of our travels alongside Shelly's house in Forest Grove, OR.

Electric, water and protection from the elements - nice.

And the view out our giant rear window is really sweet.
