Preparing to move to Farragot State Park

After breakfast, we took a ride to Hells Canyon State Park to check out the campground and their visitor center. It was a nice visitor center that related to the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The campground is located along the Snake River and was quite nice with lots of shade trees and they had quite a few sites that would accommodate our size rig. Full hookups are $23.60 a night, water and electric only for $19 a night. If ever in the area again, I would consider staying there. Although we are paying a bit more per night, the RV park here is awfully nice and my MotoSat works well where in the state park those wonderful trees would keep my satellite from connecting. Always some sort of trade-off.

We stopped at a sports store to buy a good compass and ended up also buying a good pair of binoculars. We had been talking about it and with the help of the salesman, ended the discussion.

When we got back home, I updated our Quicken records while John put the bikes in the truck and did some other outside items. John asked me to give him a hand in loading the kayaks on the truck which we have gotten down to a science. Just a few more things to put away and we will be "on the road again". It will be an easy day, less than 150 miles and only about three hours of driving. We are looking forward to camping at Farragot. Our neighbor told John that the park is beautiful and that we will enjoy ourselves. Good to hear.

We had a nice chat with Melissa. We heard all about the wedding which went off well. Our heartfelt congratulations to the newlyweds, Kelly and Jason. We are looking forward to meeting up with Melissa on the 26th and she sounds like she is looking forward to being with us. Ain't life grand?

We sat outside as the temperatures cooled down and had a lovely red sunset. Tomorrow evening, it will be a different view. We are ready.
