Today we were on the road again,\nleaving the absolutely gorgeous Cove Palisades State Park and\ncontinuing south on US-97. We cruised through some more marijuana*\nfields as we made our way through Terrabonne, Redmond, Bend and\nSunriver before turning off onto the two-lane blacktop roads to the\nBend\/Sunriver Thousand Trails Preserve. Thanks to our TT membership,\nwe get to stay here for free but it certainly isn’t as nice as the\nplace we stayed last night. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tWe found one of the few RV spaces with\nonly a partially blocked view to the south which gives us rudimentary\nsatellite TV reception but almost surgically eliminates most of the\nchannels that offer viewing without religious fervor, discussions of\nthe frequency of bowel movements or paste jewelry with long, official\nGIA-sounding but fabricated names. We’ll have to find other\nentertainment. It seems pretty unlikely we will find any outdoors\nbecause it is still chilly during the day and freezing at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\tNevertheless, we are quite cozy in our\nBarbarian Invader and we have superb food stores. We also have Red\nDead Redemption II to fill some of the idle hours. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
*Some of the local folks we chatted with in the state park tried to tell us that the things we were seeing were hemp plants. Since hemp fibers come from the stems, I am doubtful the plants are hemp because they are very short, have enormous, luscious-looking colas and reek of Da Kine when passing downwind of the production. If it’s hemp, I want a hemp shirt so everyone could think I smell like a skunk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
