Sunday, July 8 – Riverside RV Park, Canby OR97013

ABDIP – the sun is out, not a cloud in the sky and already 18C by 8am, welcome back summer – we missed you!  The duvet is back in storage and the electric fans are out from under the bed.

Exploring the RV Park this morning.  The majority of sites are filled with trailers and fifth wheels with just a handful of motorhomes and those are not very big.  Now we have seen the narrow sites we understand why when we phoned she asked if we had slides and then turned us down.  Probably half of the sites seem to be semi permanent and there is a lot of older equipment. It seems there are workers here who are gone during the day.  But this is super cool - a model train track around your trailer:  Will have to check later and see what the timetable is!

Model Railway

We check out the Molalla River right beside the park, although the shore is stony I think the river will be a real drawcard for later today when it gets really hot. We saw lots of people swimming in the river last evening as we walked up to dinner.

We do spend the afternoon down at the river and actually need to get in the water, it gets to 32C. The water is  pretty warm - after you inch in that is.  The river gets deep enough in the middle to be totally submerged and there are dozens of people floating down it in all manner of rafts, lilos, paddle boards, inner tubes and other sophisticated paraphernalia.  I suspect the punters either get dropped off somewhere up river or picked up down river, there are so many of them and I don't see any walking back.  They look like they are all having a great time. 

Cooling down in the Molalla

After dinner we had another potential buyer have a look at the coach, this might be the way to sell it, but we decide he is a tire kicker and was more interested in telling us what he had in his motorhome.  Maybe he was just lonely!
