On the Road - Reconnected and Refreshed

Mount Hood Village RV Resort - Welches, Oregon


Another picturesque drive, along the Oregon Scenic Byway this time, took us to Mount Hood Village in the northwest part of the state.

Mount Hood
Mount Hood, in the Cascade Mountain range, is the highest point in Oregon. At this campground we had made plans to meet up with a retired Shell buddy who now lives in Oregon.

It was wonderful reconnecting with Rick after 13 or so years. He and his wife recently purchased a motorhome as well so we traded RV stories. We were able to park our RVs at adjacent sites and our two dogs made friends with their two dogs. Rick has a helpful book of the best hikes in Oregon. I have to say the Salmon River trail we hiked was one of the best I've been on.

We found the perfect spot for a picnic lunch on the bank of the river where the clear water rushed over rocks. Dipping our feet in the icy cold water was so refreshing.

Our four nights' stay flew by as we shared stories, walks, beautiful scenery, meals, dice games, and lots of laughter.
