Day 4-  Canyonville, OR

Those of you who were betting on our being in Medford tonight; sorry, losers!  Geri herself cancelled the Medford shopstop, in return for the promise of a day's shopping in Roseburg.  Don told me that she was thinking of having to spend a night or two in a relatively crummy RV Park in the Medford area, rather than in the beautiful 7 Feathers RV Resort here in Canyonville.  In fact, she likes it here so much that she signed us up for a week!  That's fine with me, and with Don, too.  I love the walking areas here, and all the people are always so nice to me.  I've got some lovely grass on our site, great for rolling. 

For those of you new to my blog, and those not-so-new but suffering from long-term memory loss, let me give you a little history about our association with this place.  Back in the year 1852, (I can't calculate how long ago this was in dog years) Don's Ggg-GrandFather and his family settled here after a long and difficult trip over the Oregon Trail.  His Father was born here, along with his aunts and uncles, of which only one is left.  Every year, the Yokums hold a family reunion here during the last weekend in August, which also coincides with the big annual celebration of Canyonville Pioneer Days.  So we get to watch the parade, attend some of the Pioneer Day events, and they partake of some of the food delicacies that are offered in Pioneer Park during the weekend.  And, of course, the Yokum Reunion also features lots of food brought by the attendees.  So, it's a really big event, and one that I always enjoy thoroughly, 'cause I get a lot of attention from the Yokum crowd and many of them slip me bites of really wonderful food!  We missed out on the last reunion due to some damages to our rig which had to be repaired.  We'll be making up for it this year!

Our transit up from Redding was made without difficulty, I got to see a lot of mountains and forests, in addition to Lake Shasta.  We arrived at 7 Feathers a little after one PM, and got assigned a very nice spot with great TV satellite reception.  A Monaco Windsor pulled in next door just a few minutes later, making this a classy neighborhood!  Don has always coveted the Windsors, and it strangely makes him feel very warm to be parked next to one.  There's a Windsor in Ventura near the park where we sometimes walk, and Don frequently bewails the fact that it's hardly ever used, and seems to be just a driveway ornament.

Can't think of anything more to report, so I'll sign off for now!  Caio!
