The Return South

We had a great four day visit with Jeff and Becky Hilen in Gig Harbor. We played a round of golf together, had some delicious meals and got to see some areas of the Puget Sound's south peninsula. We enjoyed the relaxing pace and getting to know our extended Washington State family.

On Thursday, October 6 we left Jeff and Becky's heading south to a Harvest Host at the Ranch Hills Golf Course in Mulino, OR, We drove about four hours and arrived at our destination early enough to play 9 holes of golf before going to a small Mexican restaurant for dinner.

Today we are in Grants Pass, OR at Schroeder Park. This is a great little park if you want to stay close in to the city of Grants Pass but don't want the big commercial type parks. It's right next to the Rogue River, quiet and well kept. The driveways have become buckled somewhat by the large oak trees but not a huge issue. Occasionally we hear an unexpected noise from acorns falling on the roof. The camp host was very friendly. If you are looking for seclusion near the city, this is a good bet.
