We pack up the van and take another walk down to the lake. On the way we see lots of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frost_flower">frost flowers</a> They are amazing but very fragile.<br />

On the way home we stopped by the <a href="https://magnoliamarket.com/silos/">Magnolia Market</a> place in Waco. This was made famous by the 'fixer-upper' tv series. It sells a limited range of over-priced junk but its fun to mooch around on a sunny day. $3-50 for a cupcake!<br />

Goliad <a href="https://tpwd.texas.gov/state-parks/goliad">State Park</a> is also a State Historic Site and contains a restored Colonial Era mission. Great fun to explore, and then hike around the nature trail behind it.<br />

Just outside the park - a short walk away is the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidio_La_Bah%C3%ADa">Presidio La Bahia</a> Too much history to explain here - follow the link. But the Goliad massacre should have made Goliad more famous than the Alamo.<br />

That was where the interest in owning a molded fiberglass travel trailer came from.<br />
Casitas are made in Texas and only sold through the 'factory' - so there are a lot in Texas.<br />
Twice a year folks gather for a Casita "rally" This time of year its at Salmon Lake Park in Grapeland. The other one is in Bandera (in the hill country)<br />

At our previous house in Duncanville we were surround by tall trees so only got to see them through the trees.. Here in Granbury we are on a slight rise with nothing tall to the West. So we see more sunsets.<br />
Cant choose just one picture for tonight so here are them all....<br />

Not much to see on the journey today - but we end up at a pretty lake in Clarendon.<br />
Not many folks here - and its threatening to rain, but a group campers turn up complete with boats and beer. It is a weekend after all. They were no trouble and kept to themselves.<br />

Today we are chugging our way south East - and today we go via Taos. But before we get there, while motoring along a flat boring stretch with mountains up ahead, suddenly we are hundreds of feet above the Rio Grande. Wasn't expecting that! Had to u-turn on the far side to get back to the hidden overlook.<br />

After rushing back to the campground and hooking up (we were only about half an hour late) we head towards Ouray - but not by the quickest route. We chose to head Southwest first on highway 141 then that 62 into Ouray. Its a very pretty and quiet route,<br />

We then start following the Dolores river. About halfway to the junction with highway 62, there is evidence of an old hanging flume. This was used for just a few years in the 1880s as part of the gold mining operations. It could carry 80 million gallons of water a day. That's quite a lot Read all about it <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_Flume">here</a><br />

First stop Logan, Utah. Founded by settlers in the 1850's its a nice town with many fine older buildings. We did our usual by stopping first at the visitor center, picking up the walking tour brochure, then heading out on foot. That way we know where to find coffee and treats for the next part of the journey.<br />

We end up at a town named after me. Well its just a wide spot in the road really - but it is called James Town, so that is good enough. Flaming Gorge tomorrow.Jim and Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11187836351631944985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514599666947728373.post-2321220592729979892017-09-14T18:49:00.000-07:002018-02-06T06:50:27.840-08:00Sep 14 2017 - Hagerman,ID to McCarron,IDWe start the day off in town at a great visitor center dedicated to the local <a href="https://www.nps.gov/hafo/learn/nature/index.htm">Hagerman fossil beds</a><br />
This is quite a special place if you are into fossils. Their claim to fame is the Hagerman horse, the first true horse in America. The actual fossil digs are not open to the public, but there are plenty on show in the visitor center.<br />
<br />
Then up the hill we go to take a look at the view, including glimpses of the Oregon Trail (a really old stage coach route). We always marvel at determination of folks back the. Some of the routes they took were not exactly level. This picture shows it best. Old tracks - exaggerated by time and weather, go straight up the hill (shortest route) Modern day power lines do the same. The modern road takes a gentler, but longer route up the hill.<br />

Finally we end up at the lovely town of La Grande, Oregon.<br />
Some very helpful folks in the visitor center send us on the great walking tour around town, and point us towards a very campsite for tonight.<br />

The obligatory "tiny trailer" photo.<br />
First part of the day is battling our way through Seattle traffic. Not nice.<br />
But we soon head South East on Highway 90 and begin the climb over Snoqualmie pass. This is the first test for the tow vehicle - and she does fine. We always worry about transmission temperatures when towing a heavy draggy box, but they barely rose climbing the hill. No pictures as its still a bit smoky.<br />
<br />
Just after the town of Ellensburg, we jump onto the old "canyon road" that follows the river.<br />
It very pretty - and no traffic!<br />
<br />

No disasters! Noticed this pretty view when the lights came on as we locked up for the night.<br />

Well here it is. This is the front 'dinette' Everything you need - Wine,beer,laptop, pot plant. We haven't mentioned the plant yet. Its from our Texas house. As we were leaving for this trip we had a last look around and it was pleading with us to come along. So we have managed to keep it alive and now it has a new home. This end becomes a quite comfortable bed - its even big enough for Jim!<br />
If you look carefully you can see that the trailer is wide enough to have storage under the shelf the plant is on. This is unusual in a trailer of this length. And loads of storage above and even a radio.<br />
<br />

The back end. That sofa can become a bed. Wardrobe on right end of sofa. Large fridge with separate freezer to right of wardrobe, and wet bath is behind that final door on the right.<br />
Up on the roof you can just see the reversible exhaust fan, there is an A/C up there too in the middle of the trailer. Storage above, storage below....<br />

Shoes mark the entry door! 3 burner cooktop is hiding under the mugs. Oven is an unusual feature in such a small trailer. There is a sink under the taps. Loads of storage. Down low next to the blue cool-box is one of the 3 heat ducts. Yes it has a furnace to keep us toasty.<br />
<br />

<br />
A quick look at the outside - you can see a large awning rolled up over the door side, the big lump on the roof is the A/C, the front window rock guard is down (it hinges up to just above horizontal) and the box on the front contains 2 propane tanks and 2 12v batteries.<br />
<br />
The inside lights (LED) and fans run off 12V<br />
Water pump (if using on-board tank) is 12V<br />
Water heater is propane<br />
Furnace is propane<br />
Fridge switches between propane and 120V<br />
A/C needs 120V<br />
<br />
Running down the road the fridge is on propane.<br />
If you get to a campground with electric, it switches over automatically,<br />
and an on-board charger tops up the batteries.<br />
<br />
<br />
So why did we buy this trailer? Jim can stand up in it (rare) Jim can sleep in it (rare) Having a window at each end makes it feel airy. Most importantly it was available at the right time.<br />

First task is to test the trailer brakes - they are electric brakes controlled by a magic box hooked up to the brake pedal in the tow vehicle. It uses the inertia of the car to decide how many volts to send to the trailer. I was worried at first as nothing happened when I tried them. It then dawned on me that they only work when you are going along - they are electromagnets that use the spinning drum to apply the brakes. Once I remembered that we gingerly headed out and tested them on the road. Success!<br />

Once our friend Walt had inspected his new trailer and paid for - the delivery driver appeared to tell us it was time to go. (They deliver it over the border to remove import hassles)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time is money for him so he was off at fast pace. We were plodding along at the back of the line. At the border - the commercial trucks go through their own line (fast) and we crawl through with the tourists. We had not purchased the trailer yet - but we were towing it as Walt's tow was all set up for the new Escape. So naturally at the border we were 'randomly' selected for special attention. This was a worrying time as we were fully responsible for the contents of someone else's trailer - but as it turned out they just confiscated some fruit. I was a nerve-wracking hour or so.</div>

So here we are in out first campground. Patiently waiting for the previous owner to remove all his stuff so we can move in. The wine helped!<br />
While we were waiting we had a walk around - spotted the trailer below - how cool!<br />

We did get all moved in after dark.<br />
We'll show you some inside pictures tomorrow.Jim and Clarehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11187836351631944985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-514599666947728373.post-57384485551794093872017-09-07T16:36:00.000-07:002017-10-03T16:48:31.290-07:00Sep 7 2017 - Bellingham WA to Chilliwack,BC CanadaToday's destination is Chilliwack in British Columbia. That is Canada in case you didn't know.<br />
We need to be at the <a href="http://escapetrailer.com/">Escape</a> Travel Trailer factory to pick up our new home. A friend is getting a shiny new Escape and we are taking his old (2002) <a href="https://www.bigfootrv.com/bigfoot_rv_travel_trailers_2500_series.html">Bigfoot</a> Trailer. To make sure there are no border hassles for his appointment we are going over today.<br />
Clare has a reason too - there is a massive British store in Chilliwack and she has been dreaming of Scotch eggs for weeks. And as luck would have it they get their Scotch Egg order in every Thursday. So we asked in the in-store Bakery for Scotch Eggs - none! They hadn't ordered any this week as the kids were back in school. Say <i>WHAT</i>? Oh well. Just to wind them up even more we ordered Scotch Eggs at cafe. Naturally we ended up with 1 ploughmans and 1 Shepherds pie, but we tried.<br />
