Almost home

We made it to Woodburn RV Park outside of Salem last night. Britta beat me at Scrabble again, then we went to bed to be awakened by a very loud wind and rainstorm. It felt like the motorhome was going to blow over. Elsie slept through it, but Tule was really nervous. It was too loud for Britta to sleep, but Gary slept right through it with no problem.

Today we have driven through rain and clouds with very little snow in patches way off the road. The further south we go the less snow we see. Rain has been the most prevalent weather with a big squall at Roseburg. It didn't snow until we got to Dunsmuir. We are now in a very cold, but only misty Redding.

When we got to Medford we discovered we had run out of water. Evidently a handle was bumped and it drained out as we drove. I neglected to mention that we had to call a locksmith Dec. 26. When Gary and Britta were loading the RV somehow the door locked with all the keys inside. This last few days have been less than fun. Someday we will laugh about all the things that went wrong.

In the meantime, we are enjoying relaxing this evening. Even the dogs are pooped. They did a LOT of running at Mom's. The horse and Elsie made friends and would stand nose to nose to visit, but that required a lot of running down to the barn anytime someone said "the horse is out". Tule would run out with Elsie then stand at the top of the hill and watch Elsie run. Our yard will be boring by comparison. But we will be happy to be home and unpacked tomorrow.
