Columbia River RV Park, Portland, OR 18 June 2013

 We have stayed here many times, but not during the three years that we owned our house.  We parked the RV in a storage area when we were in town.  During this time, the park added this new section.  The Jeep is parked on the other side of the coach and there is room for the grill and chairs.  
 However, you can see how close the sites are to each other.  Trucks and larger cars often block the sidewalk.  The older part of the park has long-termers.  
Can't say that our view is inspiring.  But, there are only 5 RV parks in this end of Portland and this is the newest.  None of them are destination parks.  They are just places to park while in the area.  

We are spending these first few days, sitting still, cleaning and reorganizing so that living full-time is efficient.  Ted went to our storage and "shopped" there for things that needed replenishing, e.g., kleenex, canned foods, pop.  We put our duplicate items from the house on shelves in storage for easy access.  We have a lot of boring things to do, like getting the Jeep serviced, hair cuts, prescriptions filled, etc.  We also have fun things to do, like watching our grandson play ball, sharing meals with our kids and friends, and doing some hobby stuff.  Portland is a really neat town, and we always miss it when we're away too long.  We have promised each other that when we are in Portland, we will be tourists and see the sights we missed during the 23 years we lived here.
