Hoodstock 2012

Can you believe we first started a camp out for Classic Winnebago's in the Northwest in 2008 at Viento State Park close to Hood River Oregon and that was 5 years ago.  After a great weekend of nice weather and great friendship we decided to do it again, except for the fact that we were very close to the Rail Road tracks and the free way.  So after looking around for someplace we could show up, without planning ahead and making reservations, I found the Blossom Festival at the Hood River Fairgrounds.  What could be better, vender's selling all the crap stuff that anyone would want from fruit and vegetables to wine and greasy food.   Even crafts and trees.  Something for everyone.
So the weather was great for the first 4 years but last year was very very wet and we couldn't park out in the big grass field without getting stuck.  But they had a tractor and gave us rides from the pig and sheep area of the grounds to the buildings where all the shopping was going on.  You can look back at my Blog with the search box at the upper left area to find all the Hoodstock postings.

And another fun thing to do when my wife and I travel around is look in Thrift Shops.  You can find shops by using the web site http://www.thethriftshopper.com/index.php and put in the town and state you are in and find all the places you would want.  We have even found shops not on the list so we have added some.  Its a hobby right.
