We returned today about noon from two lovely days at Champoeg State Park. This was our swan song for this year's camping. The weather was, if not lovely, at least acceptable. We had no rain, and the temperature never dipped below freezing. Our coach kept us cozy and warm. Yesterday we had a four mile walk along the Willamette river. Pogo slept for hours afterward!!
Today we came home and cleaned up the coach and winterized it. We are expecting snow this weekend, and bitterly cold weather next week. So, I was able to blow all the water out of the pipes in the coach and to drain the water heater. I also drained the holding tanks. Fortunately, we store the coach indoors, so we expect the temperatures to be mitigated some. At any rate, we also unloaded all foodstuffs, waxed the wood cabinetry in the galley, washed the exterior, and removed excess gear. We will put the coach in the storage building tomorrow and not see her for a few weeks.
The next several days are expected to be the cold spell of the decade, complete with snow and bitter temperatures. There is much to do to prepare the house/yard for the onslaught. So, tomorrow's work is clear. Let's hope that it will be a short interlude that all can enjoy. Lord, we pray for no casualties related to the weather.
