Day 32 – Raining steadily when we got up, 45 degrees, cold & dark out. And we slept till close to 9 a.m., the kitties, too. At a little after noon, it was still raining, 47 degrees, and we made a big batch of pancakes. Not going anywhere today. Gonna hunker down & catch up on some paperwork.

THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD.
Day 31 – The second month of this trip was supposed to begin with a jet-boat ride on the Rogue River. It started raining during the night and it continued throughout the morning. We postponed our trip until Saturday since it shows rain ahead for several days. I wish it would pour down rain over these fires in the west.
RECAP – End of Month 1, Trip #3
We started out a month ago in the Hudson Valley of NY & have travelled 3,416 miles. One month later we are at Gold Beach, Oregon. The first 3 weeks we stayed at most campgrounds for just one night, occasionally two. Once we got closer to the west coast, we increased our campground stays to as much as 5 nights at the same place. We crossed through 11 states and spent at least one night in each, starting in New York to Pennsylvania to Ohio to Indiana to Illinois to Iowa to Nebraska to Wyoming to Utah to Idaho to Oregon. So far, so good. It is nice though to be slowing down for several months & really getting to know the areas we’re staying at. We were stunned at the beauty of every state, each one different in its own way. We’d like to return to each & explore more.
