Boon-docking

Sept. 15th, DAY ONE

Our original departure date for our Maiden-voyage with our friends was schedule for the 16th.  After a conversation Tyrus on the phone asking "see Oma?," we realized that we could break up our first day travel by going part way to Cools Bay a day earlier, to see Da Boys.  We let our friends know, and agreed to meet at Bellnap on the McKenzie River, at the end of the day on the 16th.   We pulled into The Mill Casino where we boon-docked (no hook).  Chelsey swung by and picked us up, took us to her home, where she had prepared a nice pork-roast dinner.  Not bad for our first meal on the road.  We visited with Tyrus and Rowan and then were taken back to our 1st class accommodations. To our surprise, our friends were parked right next to us when we arrive back to our Airstream at 9:00pm.  A couple of beers later and we were all ready for bed.  But, first we had to take our 3 pups for a potty break.  Yep, 3 dogs! (This will be a challenge.) They all complied by doing their business right away. Everybody on/in their beds, and to lala-land we go.  Our bedding was nice and toasty although the mattress is harder than I like.

PS: our refrigerator/freezer with all of it's perishables did not switch over to the propane mode automatically as it should have.  Temperatures were quickly rising to above 40+ degrees, and we were concerned that all our food would be spoiled by the next evening. We called the previous owners and they gave us some tips that may help. John worked his magic and we were back to having a working ice-box.
