Picures of the hike to Arch rock.
The annal family camp out was really nice this year.
We camp at Unqua falls on the South Umpqua River area, up the road from a little place called Tiller, Oregon.
I spent the week before the camp out, begetting the trail hitch on Rochelle car and the trailer ready, because it had not been used in about five years.
Come to find out, the wiring for the trailer light, being a Subaru, are a bit different, so we had to get a adtor to convert the wiring over to the trail type wiring.
That being done and working ok most of the time,(the lights on the trail stay on for about 5 minutes after you turn car lights off, weird).
Then the trailer wheel bears sound a little noisy when I turn the wheel, so off they came, and all the bearing were bad rusty, had to replace all four sets of bearing, this was on Wednesday, and we're leaving Friday.
Great the hitch is on, the lights work, the bearing are good, and tires on the trailer hold air, now.
All set to go.
We float the Rogue River on Saturday and we drive up the shop to unload the stuff and we have this trail on fluid coming from under Rochelle's car, coming from a radiator that has a crack in the plastic tank.
Make some calls and find that, that no one can get a radiator till Wednesday, and it Saturday, and we're leaving Monday for the big camp out.
I order the radiator on line and thanks to Randy, loaned us the Forester.
And no trailer this year.
We left Monday for camping.
I camp out all week the first time in 15 years or more and got see everyone, and swim and read books, and stay up late and road the moutain bike a coup of times.
A great camp out, got rained on one time, so we got to set up covers and what have you.
