Elk River

Our maintenance host position with the California State Parks at Dry Lagoon ended today. It was bittersweet to leave so soon. We had planned on staying until end of September and spend the month of October in Oregon for hunting season, then head to Arizona to spend the winter.

"The best laid schemes o' Mice an' Men, gang aft agley, an' lea'e us nought but grief an' pain, for promis'd joy!" (The best laid schemes of Mice and Men oft go awry, and leave us nothing but grief and pain, for promised joy!)  Robert Burns, To a Mouse (Poem, November, 1785) Scottish national poet (1759 - 1796) 

We are off to a family reunion in Canyonville, OR and then to Arizona to visit our children and then off to Florida for our winter position with the Florida Fish & Game.

We are spending the night on the coast at a favorite campground on the Elk River, just north of Port Orford.  Here is some info, if anyone is interested: Elk River RV Park, 3363 Elk River Rd, Port Orford, OR 97465, 541 332-2255
