Arrived in Trail, OR at Joseph Stewart County Park

Captains Log June 19 - Well  it was a  short drive  in miles,  but a  long drive  in type  of road!  Today we drove to  Joseph Stewart  County Park  where we  will be  volunteering  for about 6 weeks.   Most of the drive was  2 lane  and we came south along Crater Lake area which was curvy and bumpy.   I accumulated  a line behind  me and  once the  road opened  up  one guy passed me,  honked and shot  me a bird!   How Rude!   I guess he thought I should pull off so they could all pass, but I have the same right to the road as they do!

We knew what site we were to park in, A26 for 2 weeks then we will move to a spot in D loop for a month.  We stopped at the Host site and the lady said she had been told we were going to A26.  She said she’d come over later and talk to us.  Well, we got set up, showered and she still had not come by so we left for Medford, about 40 miles, and had lunch.  Then we did some major grocery shopping, ran the truck thru a car wash, and came back.

I was just getting ready to start supper when there was a knock on the door.  We expected it to be the camp host but it was the 2 of the park rangers.  They went over a few things but things seem a bit up in the air still.  We’re not 100% sure what all of our duties are and which loop(s) we will be working in.  We do know we clean sites, pick up any debris, sell firewood, chat people up and keep check on the bathrooms.  We work 4 hours for 5 days a week.  So we have time to see some local sites or go to the grocery on work days and have 2 days to venture further out if we want. 

I finally got to make dinner:   steelhead trout, mixed rice and zucchini.  It was either really good or I was really hungry!

Bill washed the front of the RV for the last time for a while.  Now he will have site cleaning to keep him busy!

This campground has 200 sites in 4 loops, and it’s on a river with a marina, so it’s a busy place.  Hope it doesn’t wear us out!
