15 August 2012 -- Winchester Bay, Oregon

We arrived at Winchester Bay this afternoon after a great trip from Angel Fire, New Mexico.  Our son Sean chastised us for letting our Blog go "stale".  So, here I am sitting on the divan with Ozel on one side of me, Nissa on the other and Osita at my feet as I attempt to recap our trip so far.

We spent the first night of the trip at Ami's Acres RV Park, Glenwood Springs, Colorado. It was a pleasant simple park which was great for an overnight.

  From there we headed north and west to the National Dinosaur Monument in Jenson, Utah. We really enjoyed  this national park.  The "Quarry" was very interesting and educational....there was a wall of dinosaur bones that have been excavated from an ancient river that has long since disappeared.





Ozel demonstrates how large some of the bones where.



Looking down at the Quarry wall that contains the bones. 


A skeleton of a dinosaur similar to the one in the the painting which shows what the scientists think the dinosaur looked like.

We drove on to Vernal, UT which wasn't far from the Monument and spent the night at Fossil Valley RV Park. It was a nice clean park - another park good for an overnight.

Tonight we stayed at the best Park that we have found so far.  It was clean, had well spaced pads, a great staff and was beautiful.  We even walked to a Chinese Restaurant for dinner - the food was good too.  We stayed at the Mountain Home RV Park, Mountain Home, Idaho.

We arrived at Ozel's brother John and his wife, D.K.'s  home in Bend, OR on August 13th.  We always enjoy our visits with them.  We hit the Golf course the day after we arrived.


D.K. has quite the rig for her golfing and sun protection.



This is one of the most beautiful courses there is. It was a great day!!

And now we have arrived at the present.  We left Bend this morning and had a beautiful drive to Winchester Bay. We have the space next to John which is convenient.. We will head out early in the morning to go crabbing.  Stay tuned for the results...


This is the view from the balcony of our room in at John's house.  What a way to start the day!
The "Girls" really like it there...they can run free.  Notice the snow is still on the mountain tops.
