On the road again. . . .

Julia Rose with goggles ready for a little swim!

We left Ukiah, CA, this morning and although we're happy to be on the road again, we already miss our sweet granddaughter. We had a wonderful two weeks with her and her parents and the time went so fast. We are in Eureka, CA, tonight at the Elks Lodge. Tom is definitely taking advantage of becoming an Elk and we are enjoying the clubs along the way in our travels. Our ultimate goal is Portland, probably by Wednesday. We aren't in any hurry and love traveling Hwy 101. Seeing the giant redwoods, all the blooming flowers, the beautiful trees made for a wonderful day of travel for us. Tomorrow evening we'll probably stay at 7 Feathers Casino in Canyonville, OR. They have a great park and we haven't stayed there yet. Tom is already looking forward to a hot tub soak. We've both been nursing colds but I think we're also both on the mend now. We have to be as our new jobs will probably start as soon as we get to the RV park in Portland. No more loafing for us. We'll also be celebrating our four years on the road the beginning of May. Where has the time gone? Tomorrow is 6 months since I had my surgery and I feel wonderful and so happy to be cancer free. Life if great for us!!!

We are Excel owners too, and heading for Portland, where Lee's son lives, and would love to meet you and chat. We've been on the road a year, and are at the Elks Lodge in Redding tonight and headed for the Elks Lodge in Eureka--which is how we found this post..... Lee and Ken
