The Alaska/Canadian Yukon Trip

9/1/17 – 9/4/17   I have no more stops to put on my blog.   We are just driving from Seven Feathers in Roseburg , Oregon directly home.   It will take 4 overnight stays, and south through California .   The weather south of Oregon is about the same, very hot and smoky due to fires in California .   Here is a picture of Mt. Shasta in the smoke. You can hardly see Mt. Shasta through the smoke, and it is right next to the road Also, as we travel south through central California , it is getting hotter and hotter.   At home, I am told it is about 117 degrees.   Our poor little motorhome just isn’t set up for temperatures this high.   We have the A/C going all day and we are only able to cut the outside temp by about 20 degrees.   A lot of heat comes in through the windshield, even though we have a solar shade there.   Right now, as I am typing this final posting to my blog, it is 110 degrees outside, and 91 degrees inside.   We are in Lodi , California .     This trip

8/26/17   We said our goodbyes to Berk and Gloria and drove to Corvallis , to Jeanette and David’s house.   Jeanette and I went through school together from 6 th grade on.   We were cousins in 7 th grade due to a marriage in the family and enjoyed calling each other ‘cuz’ all through school.   Over the years we have traveled quite a bit with Jeanette and David and really enjoy them.   We arrived at their business location called Kammerer Park .   It is a business park in Corvallis .   David was waiting for us in his van.   We left the motorhome and Jeep at the Park, and went up to the house (about a mile away) to see if the driveway would be OK for the motorhome.   It looked OK, so we went back to the Park and unhooked the Jeep and drove three vehicles back up to the house.   I parked the Jeep and David helped Tom park the motorhome and get it leveled.   We walked the dogs and went in to visit with both of them.     We talked, watched football ( Oregon vs. Colorado
