Our last trip to the Pacific NW in '07 took us along the coast route (Hwy 101) thru Oregon and Southern Washington, then across the state to see Mt St. Helens and Mt Rainier, the Grand Coulee, and the area north of Spokane. This year we are following the Cascade route (US 97) thru Oregon with plans to visit Mt Mazama (Crater Lake NP) and Mt Hood among others, before crossing into Washington to do the Olympic Peninsula, and the Puget Sound/ San Juan Islands area. On July 1st, we arrived at our first major Oregon stop, a Thousand Trails preserve close to the ski resort town of Sunriver just south of Bend, the largest city in the central part of the state. The RV park is one of the nicest we've seen, with large sites (we have a stand of
trees separating us from any of our neighbors,) two heated pools and a spa, tennis courts, pickleball courts, mini golf, a fishing stream, plus a nice activity center and general store. There are beautiful views of the still snow-capped mountains 20 miles to our west. The temps are upper 40's to low 80's, some days cooler. (Sorry about that, Texans and Floridians and Arizonans.) There is lots of sightseeing, too, so we're happy we had decided to reserve three weeks here.
