If you plan to travel and camp, for months at a time, the goal, for a lot of campers is to seek out the best possible weather. That didn’t start out being the goal for us on this trip, but once we found ourselves extending our adventure into the summer months we found our route was unconsciously being determined by checking a weather app and heading in the direction of areas forecasting highs in the 70’s and lows in the 50’s. Just as temps started to heat up nationwide, with the onset of the summer solstice, we found ourselves on the Oregon coast experiencing weather nirvana. July is Oregon’s driest month and we couldn’t have asked for more spring like temperatures during our entire stay.
However, all good things must end. Today we traveled East and will spend the next couple nights at an Army Corp of Engineer Park, on the Oregon/Washington border called Hood River. It is a lovely park but for the first time of the trip I’m having to come to grips with the fact that spring has ended. (Tomorrows temps could reach 95°). But even as I lament the loss of my favorite season, I’m thrilled to have experienced the longest spring of my life!
