This is our second time we stopped there only this time there were very few people in the park and the sunset was striking and wonderful More Nebraska City as Marlene points out the rising moon In camp on the way home Reporting in from Cheyenne Wyoming. The plains are beautiful and the sunset was real nice. Coming across Wyoming I would say that my favorite city was Sheridan which is not far south of the Montana border. The countryside is hilly even approaching mountain ish. There are lots of trees and lots of rivers. A surprising number of rivers most of them fairly small but extremely prevalent This is the KOA in Billings Montana which was the first KOA ever ever ever in the...

First cousin to the Portland Saturday market and distant relation to the Seattle pikes market, the Salem community push on a Saturday market with farm produce, honey, crafts, food courts, music, art— Picked up some farm fresh corn and spinach and watched people for a couple of hours.

DAY 30, 31, 32 SALEM OREGON ADVENTURES

Image
We pulled into Salem, Oregon, with the COBERLY’S—a month into our trip. Tired. Dirty. Everything filthy. Started today with re-tooling and cleaning/ refurbishing. Did 8 or 9 loads wash, etc.. On the fun side of the scorecard — day (1), we had a late lunch at a local winery. Stone cooked wood fired pizza, salad and beverages. Self guided tour of the nearest grape vines.  We also got a treat with fresh picked berries magically transformed into a pie by Bill Coberly—single handed! Picked, cooked, put in crust, served w ice cream 👍😎 Oh yeah-  Grape vine self tour🥺 Here are a few from past week or so. These caught my eye as decent photographs
