DOWN with the BREHMS as of 22 JULY, 2012


Greetings to all our friends. We are camped at the Beaver Creek RV Resort in Merlin, OR., just a few miles from Grants Pass. This pic is reflections from the Beaver Creek. The creek is part of our daily morning hike.

CAMPGROUND MASCOT AT BEAVER CREEK


The trip up here from Mt. Shasta was a piece of cake. Even the Siskiyou pass was a breeze. The weather has been delightful, berries are just starting to ripen, and wild flowers everywhere. The campground is our usual when in this part of the woods. Clean, 50 amp, sewer and good water.

OUR CAMP AT BEAVER CREEK RV RESORT


Home for a week or so, then on to Junction City for an estimate on replacing our carpet with something like tile or stone. From there to the Elks Club in Florence. We hope to hook up with Gene & Darlene McDonough, and Johnny & Georgia Johnson from Arkansas while were there.

BOAT PARTY ON THE BANKS OF THE ROGUE


The Rogue River is the Disneyland of southern Oregon. Everybody uses the river for something, and usually something exciting. Here, a group of revelers are having a party close to Hellgate.

Mighty Rogue at Hellgate headed for the coast


Great for rafts, kayaks, canoes, boats and almost any kind of watercraft.

HIKING TRAIL TO BEAVER CREEK

DIANE GREETS PAPA BEAR


According to the locals. These bears hibernate every winter. The city workers take them down and warehouse them til the spring.
Hope you are all having a wonderful summer. We should be back in The San Diego in November or December. We need to be in South Dakota in Oct. then start our trek SW.
