We are camped just north of Klamath Lake right on the Williamson River.\u00a0 The view out the coach is gorgeous,\u00a0 as you could see if you checked out our webcam while we were there!\u00a0 We arrived here late afternoon on Friday, registered and pulled into our spot right on the riverfront.\u00a0\u00a0 The spaces are kind of tight in this row of the campground.\u00a0\u00a0 I had to do some tree trimming as a pine tree on our right was touching the top of the front slide out and the following night (Sat) the weather apps said there would be a thunderstorm, which usually includes lots of wind.<\/p>\n

There was a small highway about 800 feet to our west, but the prevailing winds must have carried the sound away from us as I could see vehicles go by but really had to listen to hear them.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After we got settled, all I wanted was to sit outside looking at the river with a Bourbon and 7 in hand, but we forgot to pack the 7up.\u00a0\u00a0 We were dead tired from the 7-hour drive from San Francisco and hit the sack pretty early.\u00a0\u00a0 Kathy’s phone rang a few minutes after my head hit the pillow and she jumped up and ran for the living room.\u00a0 I don’t think I ever saw her move that fast.<\/p>\n

I slept the sleep of the dead that night, although Kathy said she woke me up at some point after hearing a sound.\u00a0 I think she must have been dreaming it, as I don’t remember getting woken up at all.<\/p>\n

Saturday morning we headed over to Klamath Falls with the intention of finding the falls.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 After a while of driving in circles, we determined there are no falls in Klamath Falls…\u00a0 \u00a0They need to rename the town to “Klamath Sans Falls”\u00a0 I read it’s the town joke,\u00a0 everyone asks where are the falls..<\/p>\n

It’s a small town with lots of 20 MPH streets.\u00a0\u00a0 I can’t remember ever seeing folks driving that slow before.\u00a0\u00a0 Not even in Sun City where the blue hairs are driving pretty slow, but not that slow.<\/p>\n

We saw a farmer’s market and stopped, but it was like every other small town market we have been to lately.\u00a0\u00a0 One stall selling produce and all the others selling art, knickknacks, honey or soap.\u00a0\u00a0 And of course the produce stall was sold out when we got there.<\/p>\n

After that we took a drive around the other side of the lake.\u00a0 It’s pretty large and took a long time to get around it.\u00a0\u00a0 The most amazing thing is there are almost no homes visible around the lake.\u00a0 If it were in SoCal, that is all you would see around it.\u00a0\u00a0 Plus on a Saturday afternoon, there were only three sailboats on the lake.\u00a0 \u00a0There would have been hundreds of boats anywhere else.<\/p>\n

Saturday evening brought thunder and lightning and of course the rain came too.\u00a0\u00a0 I was glad I had cut back some of the tree branches that were hanging over the coach as they would have been making a loud racket by then.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 On Sunday and Monday it rained on and off for some of the day.\u00a0\u00a0 We ended up doing laundry and grocery shopping.\u00a0 \u00a0We also had to move the coach over two spaces for the next two days of being there.\u00a0 It’s funny how some of these smaller campgrounds using computer systems for booking don’t seem to be able to move things around once they are in the system.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I really shouldn’t have needed to move, but the folks running the joint had no idea how to move the folks coming in Sunday afternoon to the spot they were having me move to.\u00a0\u00a0 Apparently they think that once they enter a customer into a spot\u00a0 in the program, they can’t be moved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
