AZ is now in site – at least on the calendar. Just a few more stops – all GREAT favorites;-) The first was Sisters/Bend, OR and the Sisters Garden RV Park. The grounds are beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Magic always has a good spot here and E & G took advantage of the week to catch up on ‘everything’! A quick trip back to Scottsdale for E while G cleaned every nook and cranny of Magic to get rid of all the AlCan dirt!!
A great spot to get ‘chores’ done;-)
Pleasant view from Magic’s spot.
A couple of rounds of golf were also squeezed in while in Bend – especially one round with friends Rheta and Tom. But – again – it was time to move on as future tee times were waiting;-) So, a brief stop in Eugene allowed us to visit a new campground (which was very nice) and another University Campus – Oregon.
A pleasant surprise awaited at Deerwood RV Park in Eugene, Oregon.
Duck hunting at the OU Campus in Eugene;-)
First day of classes – everyone finding their way around this beautiful campus including us.
Now for REAL golf – 3 days at Bandon Dunes with friends Rheta and Tom. The first two days were unbelievable. We have NEVER had such wonderful weather here and we all enjoyed every minute;-)
The course was just waking up on our first morning at Bandon Dunes without a cloud in the sky;-)
Day One at Pacific Dunes.
Great views all around the course – and jackets shed!!
E celebrating her birdie.
Day Two – The Preserve, a 13 hole par 3 course. FUN!!
The deer at the back of the green found humor in G’s shot that landed in the tall junk behind the trap on the right.
Not all of our shots landed in the fairway or on the green. There were a few mishaps along the way;-(
E had a little trouble with a couple of sand traps. She DID get this out!!
AGAIN?!?! A good “out” from this one, too.
G had his own trap troubles. This “fried egg” was so deep it took two attempts to get out.
What a difference 24 hours can make here. The third day was all the first two were not – cloudy, windy, damp and cold. Bragged way tooooo much about the first two days;-( Still fun though – –
This old snag is host to a colorful vine which has grown all the way around and to the top.
Day Three on the Bandon Dunes course – where is the hole???
We managed to survive Bandon Dunes – enjoying the golf and our time with Rheta and Tom. But – Oregon Shakespeare Festival tickets were calling. So, we made the 4 hour drive to Emigrant Lake (just outside of Ashland) to our favorite spot and prepared for three days of plays and a day at the SaltMarsh Ranch with friends Priscilla and Steve. We always enjoy our day at the ranch catching up with each other’s lives and getting updates on all the animals – –
Alfie, one of five Anatolian Shepherds that provide protection for the Soay sheep on the Ranch. He weighs in at around 170 pounds!
Some of Alfie’s charges.
All too soon – it is time to hit the road once again. So – it’s good-bye to Emigrant Lake, Ashland, OR and the Oregon Shakespeare Festival for another year.
The view from our spot on Emigrant Lake;-)
The time in Oregon is always a happy time;-) The golf and visits with friends make us love the time here. Just one more week of adventures – don’t miss them.
E & G – happy and sad at the prospect of being ‘home’
