Heading South 2016

 OK, 2016 and we are on the road Jan.2nd
The earliest we have left yet. Looking forward to the sunshine , meeting up with friends and playing golf in relative warmth.Our short first day thru Seattle and Portland became longer when the weather report moved incoming storms around Mount Shasta up a day. We decided that we could make it to Seven Feathers Casino near the Oregon / Calif border. today's trip 10 hrs ~~Good plan ~ that nite it froze and the next AM we hit snow and ice on the way to the Siskiyu Pass. Travelling over the pass, the roads were sanded and in great shape. Phew (sigh of relief) Made it to the next casino (Rolling Hills) only 6 hrs today. Day 3 saw us ride thru Calif. down the I-5 and Rte 99 only 7 hrs to Bakersfield (Orange Grove RV Park) where we picked our usual bag of oranges right off the tree by the trailer. January 6, must be the 5 or 6 year in a row Mary spent her birthday in the passenger seat . We pulled into Lake Havasu state park that afternoon and set up for couple of days. The weather was not the greatest, some rain and clouds. That nite we had what they called a MICRO BURST, it rained and blew as hard as  I have felt it in many years. The next few days were better, allowing us to get in some walks, but not good enough to golf. Mary's cousin had invited us for dinner, but fell ill so we postponed til either on the way home or next year.
Friday Jan 8th we took our time and 5 hrs later arrived at our Winter Home - Palm Creek Golf and RV Resort in Casa Grande Az.  www.palmcreekgolf.com
Surprised by an old friend Rob Ogden who now lives in Nova Scotia, he rode by and told us to get unpacked and come up to his site for Turkey dinner, Great way to hit PC and was it ever good
The last few days we have done our shopping ~groceries / wine/ etc , picked up stuff we forgot and need, visited with old friends and neigbours. Today Mary went to Yoga and I played in the Men's Club golf. We joined Sam's Club for $20 as Costco is a ways away near Phoenix.
I am only going to update this on a weekly basis Thanks....
