Sutherlin, Oregon, July 14-22, 2007

Both my truck and trailer were due for service, so I stayed in Sutherlin, where I could take them into Eugene. Summer is a busy time for rv dealers and independent service techs, so I had to wait a while for an appointment.

Wild turkeys were seen throughout my travels, but Sutherlin had to have the most in one spot.

Looked out my window and saw a deer grazing. Grabbed my camera and then saw a baby with the adult. Turned back again and there were three. Here the young ones are very curious about the rabbit. They almost follow after it, but decide to stick with mom.

There is a street at this Sutherlin park named Killdeer. Thought maybe it was a reference to the deer eating landscape plants. I noticed the above bird several times near the entrance to the park. On looking up its name in the bird catalog, found it is called killdeer because its song sounds like “kill deer”.

Stayed at Harris Beach State Park for a week. The sites are pretty close and it was crowded at this time of year, but the beach is just across the street.

In Cheyenne, Wyoming, stopped at Terry Bison Ranch for fun.

These goats were used to mow the grass. They did not like Jake’s inquisitiveness and looked like they were ready to attack him were he to go to their side of the fence.

The main negative thing about this stop was the wind. When I would open my door, the wind would often slam it open. Not good for aluminum doors.

Next stop: Aguanga, California

aguanga

Next stop was Aguanga, California, 17 miles South of Temecula…or halfway between San Diego and Los Angeles. The people at the rv park love their ducks (and I do too). There are several ponds for them and some people put out small basins for the ducks to get away from the crowd.

Have since found that a lot of rv parks have ducks. They make great mascots.
