We had a busy day today as we invited family to join us at the West Linn Old Time Fair festivities and a BBQ at our place afterwards. We did not make it down to the parade, but it was much like a Fourth of July Parade with lots of flags, floats, and marching bands (see web photo below).

We made it down to the Willamette Park in time to see some dancing and music, get some "fair food" from the vendors (fry bread, hamburgers, corn dogs, etc.) and then we went over to the Willamette River where the Tualatin River joins it above Willamette Falls, to watch the water ski show. It was pretty good, and the weather was perfect. It was sunny and reached about 80 degrees.

After that, Neil and Seth Finney wandered through the antique and special auto show. There were a number of neat vehicles, including some Chevy's from the 1950's, a couple of Ford Mustangs, and one of the most unique was a VW Samba 21 window micro-bus like the one below.

We then came up the hill to the HagaFinn's, and enjoyed the sunshine in the garden and barbecued king salmon, London broil steak, pineapple, and corn on the cob. It was a wonderful day and evening. We hope that yours was too!
Tomorrow, we are driving down to Junction City, Oregon to take a look for a smaller RV to trade our fifth wheel trailer and pickup in on. We hope to get something by the end of August, and are looking for a Diesel Sprinter chassis RV in the 25-foot range. We have seen a few that will meet our criteria.
Thanks for visiting,
