Since we've been home, Peter's been extra busy hunting the Internet for good deals on various RVs we've been interested in. He found one in Ohio and then after negotiating back and forth with the guys in Junction City, OR he settles on buying it there. The following Friday (Oct 21), he leaves from Oakland on a cheap flight to Eugene (Oregon photos are by Philip).

Picking up the IQ
Peter's brother Philip meets him at the Eugene airport and they go to Junction City to pick it up.

| U of O sweatshirt? It's Eugene! Ed's gotta be a DUCK |
|
Finally, Peter gets to drive it off the lot and back to Philip's house.

Belknap Hot Springs - (take 3)
Before heading south, they decide to go back to Belknap Hot Springs (naturally) and also see the Fall foliage colors in the foothills of the Cascades.
The MacKenzie River is as beautiful as ever, and Belknap is a joy.

Everyone takes some time to check out the IQ more closely.

The next day dawns bright and clear, time to do some exploring...
Back Home
After dropping Philip and Sue back home to Eugene, Peter makes a beeline back to Corralitos.

Puppies are ready to travel
(altho Mary still hasn't stepped foot in it yet) |
|
Time to get organized, provision up and head to the Gold Country and Yosemite.
