We arrived yesterday May 26th at Valley of the Rogue State park. Several of the MOC arrived the same day so all were setting up their trailers. Walking the loop and visiting is a fun way to pass the time. Evenings around the camp fire talking about past traveling experiences make us anxious to do the same. It's especially fun to discover that a new acquaintance has been to the same places we have.
Today May 27th we went to the nearby town of Jacksonville, Oregon. This is gold country and the town has some old time shops dedicated to sharing the past. The rest of the town has lots of shops selling tourist stuff. Roxanne found a cooking shop and bought a few things. We had a nice lunch at a Thai restaurant. Next we went to Medford and found a Harry & David store. After that we went to Costco and returned home. This afternoon several of the ladies put together a bunch of snacks and we all sat around visiting and sharing the days activities. One member of the group has most of the stuff needed to install an inverter. In the morning we will spend an hour or so installing the inverter. This is in preparation for the next camp out in Quartzsite where he will be Boondocking. The idea of an inverter is that you can convert battery power to household power. That means that you can run small appliances in the trailer like a coffee pot or satellite TV. In my opinion the goal is to be totally self supporting. I'm not even close and don't know if I'll ever be as well equipped as some of the Boondocking Masters.
Tomorrow afternoon we have made plans to take a boat trip on the Rogue.

John, how could you pay for lunch I thought you maxed out your credit card last week at dinner?

Dick,
That's easy. After the credit card melted down we had to do a reverse mortgage on the Monty. We have also discovered that cat food tastes very much like Chicken of the sea tuna!
