I am watching the news. These fires are terrible. We aren't in any danger here at Lake Minden Thousand Trails. We've talked with some of our traveling friends that are already further south. They have been evacuated twice. Most of the campgrounds and motels are full.
We are scheduled to leave here October 7 so we are hoping things will be ok by then. Our next stop is supposed to be Palm Springs and then 3 weeks later to Pio Pico Thousand Trails. I seriously doubt we will go there. Even if the fires are out, we expect many people to be living in their RVs while they assess damages and rebuild.
I haven't gotten out to take pictures since we've been here. It's on my list ;-))))
The weather has been warmer than I like but it is supposed to go back down into the 70's tomorrow. The leaves are turning such beautiful colors. The RV park will have hay rides for the kids next weekend for Halloween. They stop the wagons in certain areas for the kids to go TorT'ing.
Check back in a day or two for some pictures.

Rain, Rain Go Away
It is raining and cold here in Yuba City California. It has been really nice, and the rain is badly needed here, but we are breaking camp and moving down the road a ways tomorrow. It's so much easier to do when it is dry.
I was looking through some pictures and found a couple worth posting here. The first one is from our Christmas visit with David and Jessica. It reminded me how nice it was to see them. We are really looking forward to our next visit. Hope the house buying is going well.
It was cold and rainy then too.
We were at Devil's Punchbowl State Park. The Pacific Ocean along the Oregon coast is a wild thing, churning and spraying. Even in December, there were surfers out with their boards looking for the waves.
When you look down at the punchbowl, you can see some of the action of the waves. There are some BIG rocks out there in the ocean, too. Makes me wonder at the awful power to throw them from the closest land.
I also found some Yosemite National Park photos. We didn't have much time to spend the day we visited, and it is definitely a place I would love to revisit. M
ore power of mother nature on display.
The waterfall was so loud, you could hear it from the road which was at least a mile away.
Have a wonderful day!

Cook'n
I've spent a bunch of time recently looking through new recipes. I had (note had) a software program that I had spent tons of time adding recipes. I had a problem with the software and could get absolutely no help. The only solution they gave me was to buy a new disc and start over! So I was ticked off and decided to find something else.
And find something else I did. I found a great software for gathering and keeping recipes together. It's called Cook'n (www.dvo.com) and it is fantastic. They also have a club that you can join. One of the best parts of the club is a Forum. It is well run, and there's a lot of information to be gleaned. If you enjoy cooking and recipes, check it out.
It was raining here (Thousand Trails Lake of the Springs near Yuba City, CA). They sure need the rain around here. Everything is so dry. I was shocked at Lake Shasta on our way down here. It was soooo low.
Tomorrow I hope to get through some pictures in my files and maybe get some more up here. I've been getting some inquiries about my chainmaille and fused glass jewelry and I don't have a web site anymore. Maybe getting some pictures up here will give folks an idea what I do. After all, Christmas is coming sooner that we think. I need the money and someone must need the bracelets for gifts! Makes sense to me.
It's time for the new series on TV "Women's Murder Club." I hope it is as good as the Patterson novels.

Getting Started Blogging
I've never been very good at diaries or journals, so I expect this will be no different. My main purpose creating this blog is to have an easily accessible venue for pictures we have taken on our travels.
We are currently in Oregon House, CA at Lake of the Springs Thousand Trails Preserve. Oregon House is about 25 miles from Yuba City/Marysville CA. It is a nice park with lots of wildlife including wild turkeys, deer, wild peacocks, squirrels, etc. The weather is warm during the day and cooling at night (great for sleeping).
