Perfect Weather in the Pacific NW

We had some gorgeous weather last week.   Matter of fact, the weather was near perfect.  The skies were a beautiful blue, there was little wind and the temperature was in the mid-70’s.   We didn’t need to turn on our air conditioner or our heater.  That’s what we like --  perfect.  Summer weather is finally here.  Well, at least it is for a few days.

We took a little drive down Hwy 14 towards Camas and Washougal.  Those are two cute little bedroom communities of the Portland-Vancouver area.  They sit on the Gorge and are right along the Columbia River.

Pendleton has a huge factory store in Washougal.  The big draw for us was the wool blankets.  They carry seconds at great prices.  We inspected a few and could find no flaws.   We have one and maybe we’ll get another one when we don’t have a dog.

We also stopped by our little cabin again (aka the Willy Pad).  We still need to get up there and do some work on it.  We just looked around and amazed ourselves at all that needed to be done.  Winter debris needs to be cleaned up and trees removed. We are going to put in an order to have trees removed.   However, cleaning up the property will probably be put off until we actually move the motorhome there in June.  We checked our supply of wet cob and we still have some.  This is what we feed the deer.  All the little “Bambis” should start coming around about that time too.  They don't eat the wet cob but Mama Deer does.

Memorial Day is just around the corner.  That’s the time the occupants start changing in the RV parks.  Instead of the parks being filled with snowbirds, they start filling up with families and lots and lots of kids.  Are you ready for it?
