Wandering Season Begins!

Well, I think it is high time to kick off the summer Wandering Season!   Yesterday Waddles came out of the garage and had a very thorough spring cleaning.  She now has all clean linens, all the cupboards have been vacuumed and scrubbed.  Everything was taken out, gone through and re-stored.   Tire pressure checked, bearing grease checked.

So today we went for a short drive around the area, just to shake out anything that might have gone awry over the winter.    All seems to be in good order.

I love this view in my rear view mirror..  Waddles AND 'The Mountain'

Next week will be our first official outing.   We are heading to Eastern Oregon to the Annual Ladd Marsh Bird Festival.     We have reservations at an RV park near the Marsh, which will make it easy to get up VERY VERY early for the 'Dawn Patrol' field trip on Sunday (4am-ish).     I love this festival and it also is giving me a chance to visit with friends in the area that I don't always get to see.

RV parks are not normally my first choice, but it will make this trip easier, since I won't have a lot of time in the mornings or evenings.

This will also be the first trip since installing the new batteries, and although I'll have shore power at the RV park, I plan to try just using the batteries for at least part of the time to see how they work.   It is also the first time using the smaller propane tank, and I WILL be using that for cooking.   I'm still struggling with the Norcold cooler.  That is the next thing on the list to get the kinks out of.

So, between now and the end of next week, I'll be packing up food and clothing for the trip.   I can hardly wait!

Last time I posted I was unable to reply to the comments left on the post, and I'm not sure why that happened, but I'll also see if I can figure that out!  It's always something!

Happy Happy Spring!  I love this time of year.
