Friday Afternoon..............

and we sitting in the Valley of the Rogue State Park near Grants Pass, Oregon. Left Vancouver on Wednesday and stopped here Wednesday afternoon. We found a site that was available until Saturday so here we be. Yesterday we drove over to Crater Lake National Park, found a few virtual/earth caches, drove around the rim and took a ton of pictures. Stopped by the "famous" House of Mystery near Gold Hill on the way home. Just about didn't go in when I found it was going to cost $18.00 for us........whined about an "old folks" discount so the lady let us in for $16.00. It was interesting..........and that's about all I can say about it. Got some pictures there too. Today we drove into Grants Pass since Becky needed about 14 or so caches to reach 1400. I think we ended up finding 15 or 16.

Leaving here tomorrow morning and should be in Corning tomorrow afternoon. It was HOT today.........temperatures exceeded the norm of 72 degrees; but, only by a wee bit..........I think it may have gotten as high as 78 today in Grants Pass.

Would post some pictures; but, that will have to wait until we get home. I didn't set up the satellite dish since WiFi was available in the park for $7.99 for a week. Boy, that was a joke.......the first evening it took me about 4 hours just to get on line to check email. Yesterday and today the service has gotten a little better; but, it's too frustrating to try and upload photos. If you ever get to this area...........beware of "Road Connect", a commercial outfit that has wifi at several Oregon state parks and various rest areas. Maybe it OK in other areas; but, where I'm parked it absolutely sucks!

Nuff for now. Later. Becky and Wayne
