A FOREST/RIVER DRIVE, CRAZY NORWEGIAN & REDFISH.

Day 173 – The high today was 61 degrees and it was very windy. Wing Foilers came in to take advantage of the winds on Lake Floras. We are camping with an athletic bunch! (Wing Foiling is surfing with “a hand-held wing that enables the surfer to be up and foiling instantly. Foiling is holding the wing over your head. This allows them to cut upwind, cruise downwind, and ride swell without the aid of a windsurfing sail or kite”. From Columbia River Gorge Oregon tourist brochure.)

ANOTHER WINDY DAY.

Day 29 – Beginning of Week 5. Again, like last week, it feels like we’ve been gone longer. We were talking about the travelling experience last night – both of us feel like this is home, it’s not an extended vacation, this is every day, this is home. So I guess when we get back to our home, it will feel like a vacation? I don’t know, it all seems so natural and comfortable to wake up in this environment. The man with the cat, Mathilda, recently retired & sold his house, bought a trailer & is travelling full-time, for at least a couple of years, he says, then he’ll see what’s next, more travel or what. We are increasingly feeling that being a full-timer would be easy for us, at least until we got too old. Hmmm……

Day 27 – It rained some during the night & the forecast was more rain and cooler during the day. Sounded like a good day for a drive south to scope out campgrounds for our next stop. Since Monday is a holiday & parks may be more crowded, we decided to stay at Boice Cope an additional night. We stopped at the campground host’s RV & paid our $20. Evidently this Park is a well-known location for sail-boarding and kite-boarding on the Lake, and the winds are supposed to pick up Sunday into Monday. It could get busier here, and there could be good picture opportunities. Also, there’s a Beach Hazard Warning for the Sunday/Monday timeframe about big waves along with the winds. The Ocean is already loud here; should be interesting!

Day 26 – Rob was up at 7:30; I got up at 8:15. 44 degrees this morning, sunny & clear. People were out already, walking trails & riding their bikes. We found out there’s a little-known, remote state park, Floras Lake State Park, adjoining this County Park to the south, and that’s where one of the hiking trails leads. There are no roads into the State Park, just hiking; we’ll have to check that out while we here.

Day 25 – It was 41 degrees this morning at 7:45 a.m., sunny & still. We aren’t in a hurry to leave since our next campground isn’t far from here. We’re going to Boice Cope County Park, north of here; it will probably take us a whole 20 minutes to get there. They have a dump station, and we can also do laundry there. Small park on the New River & Floras Lake. Sorry to leave Cape Blanco, one of the best State Parks we’ve ever camped in, but Boice Cope looks promising, too.

15 miles!
