The Dalles Eagles

I can finally post on my first stay at an Eagles club.  One place we wanted to stay when we first looked at an Eagles club was in The Dalles Oregon.  And so far this place was worth joining the Eagles.  We have elect and water with a dump station close by.  And there are good TV towers close by for over the air TV watching.   Next month we plan to gather here with our classic Winnebago friends here in The Dalles.  
Here is the view from the parking lot side and then the view from the grass behind the RV spots.

Cheap RVing

This might seem like an oxymoron, because those that know me know I am cheap. But since a friend ask me about cheap ways to RV I thought I would put together a few blogs to read.  Here are some.  I might go back and add more to this post later.

Smokeys new radio

Now I am not replacing the radio just for something to do.  The original one did not work good so here is what I did. 
The old one


I needed to cut out the old mounting bracket from a 2 hole radio to the new slide in radio. 

The wires are all cut and soldered.  I only had to add a couple of wires to fix a common ground problem. 
So now I have tunes again.  CD instead of cassette but still usable.

Another trip to Eugene.

Some wonder why we would go to Eugene for an outing.  But sophie and I enjoy Eugene and when the weather is nice like this week was we always enjoy a walk along the river.  So that's what we did this week.  A couple of river trail walks and some time watching others ride bikes, walk and even joggers enjoy the sunny weather. 
We stayed at the Elks lodge along with a couple of other RV'ers.  
We are home now and I am putting a new stereo in Smokey.  It came to the house today and I am working on it now. So stay tuned for the radio project coming soon.
