Two Days Driving Arrived at Longbeach, WA

After two good days of driving we have made it to Longbeach, WA, at the Thousand Trails Park.  We like this one during the winter, not a lot of people and it is close to our two best friends down here, Brian & Rita.  We meet them for Dinner tonight at a small Italian Restaurant near the park.  The food as OK, but then we are spoiled by Olive Garden and the choices are a lot more their.  Any way it was good food and has been open for just a little over 6 months and the owner moved his Restaurant from the Seattle area to here, he wanted just a small place and good food in a quite community.  We visited with Brain & Rita for a good hour plus then headed back to the park.  We are planning on getting together as much as possible the next few days.
Now to show you a few pictures of the last couple of days driving.
 I know it is hard to tell what these things are that are white in this field.  But after we left I-5 and headed towards Lake Minden TTN for the night we spotted a lot of White Snow Geese in these fields.
There had to be 1000's of them all over the place.  It was a good drive and the wind was not against us today which made for a great drive.
 Day three of our drive took us towards Mount Shasta, you can verily make it out in the distance.
 They say that in the last two months of rain the the lake has risen over 100 feet.  It is looking like if these keeps up the lake may gain another 100 feet, it really needs it.
Shasta really has a lot of snow on it, we were very lucky today driving through the pass's the sky was clear and blue what a great day.  I have been watching the weather the last few days and the day after we drive over the pass it is getting hit with another storm and they may even have more snow.
Today's drive to Longbeach was not bad, just the rain that we have been missing, it finally caught up with us and followed us all the way to Seaside, then broke up and the sky's cleared up for the rest of the day.
We did have one small problem with our Trail Air Pin Box today that I have never had happen before.
As you can tell it is not hanging right.  The two back lugs have broken away and now comes the problem of getting it fixed.  Called Blue Dog today, sent them pictures and will hear from them tomorrow on what we will have to do.  I hope they can get me the parts so I can fix it here, I don't want to try and drive it over to Gresham, OR to have them fix it.  Waiting for tomorrow!!!!!
