Here is the main reason we came back to Portland. We've learned a lot about rugby, and thoroughly enjoyed watching Tyler play. As with most of his athletic endeavors, he's quite good.
There were, as usual, maintenance items to be taken care of. There was a terrible leak in the area of our middle air conditioner. It seemed that the installer had heavily damaged the roof of our RV in the process. It finally stopped raining long enough for Ted to remove the tarp that we had covering it, remove the air conditioner, and reinstall it correctly. Once again, the old saw proved correct: If you want anything done right, do it yourself.
We did manage to escape for a few days to one of our favorite nearby campgrounds, the Columbia Riverfront RV park in Woodland, Washington. Through our windshield we could watch the Queen of the West paddle serenely by.
The big ships going up and down the Columbia, like this car carrier, are always fascinating.
It is always relaxing and refreshing to watch the sun setting behind the hills across the river in Oregon.
Next stop, Newport, Oregon.
