Anne,
As far as i know the roads are good.
you may want to move over to the new group i have started
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/campinginoregon/
as this one i will eventually close down.
I had sent you an invite.
As for the dinner tree well i think it is worth the bucks, you get more food
then you can eat go to the links and click on the restaurant and go to there
website.  for the money i have ate at Tumalo feed which i thought was a good
place and didn't even get half the food you get here.and more money. But
that is my personal opinion.
Like Jaynee said we are having the get to gether in silver lake on the the
weekend after Memorial weekend. camping at Silver Marsh campground. no
hookups, so far as i know it it isfree.

Hi,
We are thinking about visiting The Cowboy Tree in Silver Lake, then
going up to Clyde Holiday State Park to meet family.   I'm wonder about
taking Country Road S-145 out of Silver Lake, then Christmas
Valley/Wagontire Road to 395 up to 20, then through Burns, continuing
on 395 up to John Day.  This is foreign territory to us.  We have a 39'
motor home.

Question .. are the roads good?  Is this route good or should we go
back to Bend and take 26 out of Prineville, like Microsoft routes us?
What is recommended?

Question .. I know some of ya'll have been to The Cowboy Tree.  Is it
worth the $$$ and the extra mileage?

Thanks for your help.

Campgrounds in that area with prices.
Very good site to see what is to do in those areas Be sure to check this out.
  This website is well worth checking out if your looking to be in the area of
Eugene.
They even have lookout stations that you can rent in the winter,
Never knew that.

We were registered for The Rally in Redmond but have just cancelled.
We will be going to Life on Wheels in Moscow, Idaho the week before
and then heading East to PA via a northern route.  We WILL be
traveling through Oregon and visiting family in La Pine en route to
Idaho in late June.

There are about 1,000 RV rigs camped here this week.  Escapees call
their get-togethers an "Escapade". To see the details, go to
http://www.escapees.com/escapade and follow the links for a schedule
and directions.  Registration is in Bldg. 3 and they'll give you
a "white" guest ribbon to wear. BTW, this is only a rally, not an RV
sales show, although Dan Gamel RV does have 6 or 7 rigs on display.
There are vendor booths for RV-related products and travel
destinations inside and outside. List of vendors is on the website.

I'm stopped for the night but I only have about 400 miles to go and then I'll be home. I'm not pushing myself so I'll probably get home Wed night.

 

It was a good trip and I got to meet lots of people and saw a few new places.

 

Sassy~one tired RVer right now.

You didn't say where you were (and I'm too lazy to figure the distance )

Ok last yr we had a get together with some of the members on this list,
our first one, it went good. So thought I would do another one this yr.
So I am sending this as a special notice to some of the folks that are
set as such. AS we don't want you to miss out.This will be toward the
end of May depending on what feed back i get from this.
I am thinking of Silver Lake Oregon which is about 85 miles from Bend.
  There are two places to camp in that area, one is called Silver lake Marsh
campground which is 10 miles from town, and the other is Thompson Resevoir
  which is just  14 miles from town, same direction just 4 miles from Marsh
campground. Marsh was a free campground, unless they changed it,
not sure how much TR is. Will find out those details later.
Reason i am choosing this area: there is the Cowboy Dinner Tree.
  and here is there website, http://www.cowboydinnertree.homestead.com/main.html
copy and paste, or go to the links file under restaurants.
I thought it would be nice for all of us to have  dinner there,
the steaks are as big as a rump roast. The day of dinner can be
worked out later if we have folks interested. Also if you want
  photos of the steaks go to the photo album named Cowboy Dinner tree,
  enough food for the entire weekend.
So right now I am interested to knowing who would be interested
in haveing a GTG at that time? Let me know so we can make some plans.
And by the way this restaurant only takes reservations.
So we will need to know early enough.
So please let me know if this is something that you might
  be interested in?

I'm safe and sound! :-) Somewhere between the truck stop and Ridgecrest my new Wilson antenna snapped in half. The coax is still good but can't get the thing to stay upright. So I couldn't get online while I was in Ridgecrest.

 

Right now I'm in Bakersfield slowly making my way home. I'm staying here overnight so I can catch up on all my emails. Can't have anyone worrying about me :-)

 

I had fun with my online friend in Ridgecrest. One day we went out to Trona which is the end of the world. I lived there for about 6 months many moons ago. LOL I wanted to see how much it had changed. The apts we lived in are gone. But we enjoyed the ride and even went to the local museum. I picked up some free quartz rocks that are water soluble! They can be found in a lot of places in the area. Just don't get them wet cause they will dissolve!

 

We also went to Randsburg which is an old western town that still has the original buildings and even a couple of hitching rails for you to tie your horse to when you ride it into town.  They still do that and I saw fresh evidence of them being there. LOL Got a picture of the old jail that had 2 cells. I tried to get a picture of the way they had it set up but don't know how well they will turn out.

Anyone heard from her?  She was trying to out wait the wind.

No, I got caught at 4 corners and spent a day and a half there. They had predicted 50 mph winds with gusts up to 75 mph. So I parked and pointed my MH into the wind and rode it out. Several times I thought I was going to get whiplash because my MH was rocking so hard. LOL

 

I made it into Ridgecrest on Fri afternoon and left today and am staying in Bakersfield till tomorrow. I may drive over to the cemetery where my folks are buried to see how well their graves are holding up.

 

Sassy

Hopefully she beat the SoCal winds and is holed-up in Bakersfield.
