WE GOT UP IN THE MORNING AT DESERT ROSE RV PARK AND TOOK DOGS FOR A WALK. I WARMED UP THEIR EGG BREAKFAST FOR THEM. WE SAW A 4WD VAN IN THE LOT AND STOPPED TO TAKE A PICTURE. THE LADY WANTED $29,500 FOR IT. NICE QUALITY. HUBBY REALLY WANTED IT.

WE LEFT THE RV PARK AND STOPPED TO GET BREAKFAST AT WENDYS. 

DRIVING ON, WE WENT THRU RENO THE NORTH BY-PASS AND IT WAS NOT VERY BAD WITH TRAFFIC AT 7:42AM. 

WENT THRU THE CALIFORNIA BORDER TO DECLARE FRUIT/VEGETABLES AT 7:50AM.

WE DROVE THE WRONG WAY OUT AND HAD TO TURN AROUND. 

CONTINUED DRIVING NEXT TO RAILROAD TRAIN TRACKS. WE HAD TO STOP FOR A TRAIN AND WAIT FOR IT. STOPPED IN THE TOWN OF MERRILL, OREGON TO WALK DOGS AT THEIR GRASSY AREA IN FRONT OF THE CIVIC CENTER. I PICKED UP DOG POO AGAIN.

SOME WOMAN HAD TO PARK RIGHT ON TOP OF OUR TRUCK/CAMPER. MADE IT DIFFICULT TO GET INTO THE TRUCK.

WE LEFT THERE AND CONTINUED DRIVING. IT WAS GETTING COOLER. ROLLED THE WINDOWS DOWN AND LET DOGS PUT THEIR HEADS OUTSIDE.

WE ARRIVED IN KLAMATH FALLS AROUND 2PM. 

HAD TO FIND A CAR WASH TO CLEAN THE TRUCK/CAMPER. 

THEN HAD TO FIND GAS STATION WITH DIESEL. FINALLY ENDED UP AT FRED MEYER. 

TOOK THE DOGS OVER TO MOORE PARK AND WALKED THEM NEAR THE LAKE.

SPENCER GOT FOOD AT I HEART HOTDOGS. THEY GOT BEER. I GOT WATER. WE HAD DINNER AT WUBBA'S BBQ. NOT VERY GOOD. DRY. 

WATERWHEEL RV PARK CALLED HUBBY AND HAD HIM PAY FOR THE SPOT WE HAD RESERVED.

WE LEFT FALLS TAPHOUSE AND DROVE TO THE WATERWHEEL RV PARK WHERE WE CHECKED IN.

TOOK THE DOGS OUT TO THE "ISLAND" AND SAT WITH OUR CHAIRS. SAW A VERY TINY, SKINNY BLACK KITTY AND I HAD TO GO PET HER. I WANTED TO TAKE HER HOME.

HUBBY TO FOOD OUT TO HER LATE TONIGHT AFTER THE KIDS LEFT.

I WENT BACK TO THE RV WITH KRL TO GET SWEATSHIRTS AS IT WAS GETTING COLD OUTSIDE. KRL FORGOT HER KEYS (THEY WERE IN HER JEEP) AND HAD TO CRAWL THRU THE WINDOW TO GET THEM. 

WE WALKED BACK TO THE ISLAND. I SAW A GUY WALKING HIS DOG THAT LOOKED EXACTLY LIKE RILEY. HIS DOG'S NAME WAS BUTCH. AND THE GUY TOLD ME ALL ABOUT MINI AUSSIE SHEPHERDS. VERY INFORMATIVE.

THE KIDS LEFT ABOUT 8PM AS THEY HAD TO DRIVE BACK THRU THE SMOKE FROM CRATER LAKE NATIONAL PARK AND GO HOME TO BEND.

HUBBY AND I TOOK THE DOGS FOR ANOTHER WALK. THEN WE GOT READY FOR BED. WE WERE EXHAUSTED.

STAYED IN SPOT #30 AT THE RV CAMP.
