Getting Ready to Move On

We have made reservations for a campground near Crater Lake National Park and will be leaving here tomorrow morning, hopefully not in rain.  The weather forecasters here are not even close in their predictions, we have had rain off and on day and night since we got here a week ago.  We don't like traveling in rain, but if it will be tomorrow, we have no choice.

We will have about a 4 hour drive and thankfully only about 40 minutes will be on an interstate (I-5).  We really like traveling the back roads, more scenic than highways.  And of course, going near a national park means little if no cell service.  Great.

Today we clean, laundry, pack up, grocery shop, check bank statements and bills, get ready for tomorrow morning.  Our stay here has been okay, our sinuses are bugging us because it is so damp.  And, our neighbors have been bugging us - they don't seem to know that there are other folks around them.  Even though we have a pull through site and no one is on our left, these two RVs are in a back-in - back to back site, 9 adults, 2 dogs, and very loud at night.  Slamming doors, they walk like elephants in the RV - clump, clump, clump.  Decide at 9:30 at night to build a fire and chop wood.  Ooooooh. Can't figure out the relationships between all of them.  One RV is Mom and Dad, the second RV is, I think, their daughter with husband and a dog, and then maybe the husband's brother with his wife, plus three friends of one of them with a dog.  Not sure how the 3 friends fit in with relationship to the 4. Mom, Dad and the 2 couples are Asian descent, the 3 friends are not.  Strange interactions among the 7 young adults.  They drove quite a distance to be here - their license plates are British Columbia.  Why here?  Very confusing.  I will be glad to leave them.

One of our plans on our return trip home was to go to Yosemite National Park but that has changed due to the huge wildfire there.  And with the tremendous amount of burnt area, will be years before we think about going there - would be too devastating to see.  But like RV life, we just stir up our plans and go somewhere else.
