Hello All,
Contrary to the rumors that we fell off an Oregon cliff or are caught in a wildfire somewhere, we are actually on an unplanned hiatus. We dropped the Rover off to have her new engine installed and flew to Florida to deal with some familh business. We are not sure how long our hiatus will last, but you will be the first to know when we hit the road again.
We wish you all a very Happy Holidays!!
Peace,
Melissa and Darrin
The Duke, David Niven, Doris Day, Lauren Bacall and Bogart! We feel like we are walking with the legends from Hollywood’s golden age. The Rookery, our home for the next few days, as it turns out, was built by actress Ida Lupino as a getaway from the paparazzi of the era. It’s located outside Grants Pass, Oregon at the end of a long drive next to the Rogue River. It is part of a small number of cottages that were retained and restored. Ours is a nice little 2 room cabin with a fireplace, small kitchenette and a hot shower. The perfect place to layover during the Wee Rover’s heart transplant! Here’s lookin’ at you!
The time has come to say goodbye to the Oregon coast. We have had an amazing time walking on the beach, sitting by the fire and spending time with new friends. Ron and Karen, hosts extraordinaire, became good friends and made our extended stay even more special. Now the hard part of traveling…saying good-bye (or toodles as Karen would say).
Thanks for everything!
We will see you when we see you.
