July 10-17, 2011 – Crooked River Ranch and Redmond, OR
Sunday, July 10 th , we hooked up and headed south to Terrebonne which is 5 miles north of Redmond. The scenery has changed drastically from our trip up the coast. This is the dry side of Oregon with hilly prairie lands covered with wheat fields, sagebrush and a few small trees. The river gorges we passed were beautiful and the rivers were full of whitewater rafters. We have parked the rig in Doug and Barb’s driveway, friends of ours who used to live in Colorado. They live in the largest housing development in Oregon with 2500 lots ranging from 1 to 5 acres, called Crooked River Ranch. Many of the lots have beautiful views of the Crooked River Gorge and the Deschutes River Gorge. Monday we took a day off to do some chores (laundry, wash the 5 th wheel) and visit with Doug and Barb. Rex helped Doug put up a screen door. Their lot is one acre and the dogs really enjoyed running in their big back yard and playing with their dog, Shasta....
