Arrived at Klamath Falls to cold, rainy weather. In fact, we had snow on the foothills around us on Sunday morning. Due to the cold weather, we spent a little more time in the RV; nice and cozy. I spent considerable time practicing my banjo, and, thank goodness, my playing is getting a little better. We also organized our photos and began the work of setting up this blog. I also found a shop that makes gigantic, tasty cinnamon rolls. Yummy!


I installed a new kayak rack on the truck that we bought at the Medford REI store. Makes carrying the kayaks much easier. Wayne rode several local paved trails on his road bike. The O, C, and E Trail is over 105 miles long, but only the first six miles are paved. Wayne rode the Poe Valley roads to the east of Klamath Falls. Very beautiful.


We experienced our first vehicle issue just as we entered Klamath Falls. Our diesel engine went into "reduced power mode" just as we entered town.; could only get about five miles per hour in speed. This will happen when you are our of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), but it turned out to be an engine computer issue; an update was needed. I (luckily) was able to get the engine to work by shutting it off and turning it on again. Weird. The dealer re-programmed the engine computer for free, but they did find a small leak in a radiator hose that cost us $700 to have replaced. Sure makes one wonder?


We drove up to Crater Lake to check it out on what was supposed to be a fairly nice day. We ran into a super long line of cars trying to enter the park. Seems that there was only one Ranger at the entrance station on Memorial day taking fees. We turned around and came back to Klamath Falls. It was still a fun trip. We will have more opportunities to go there.


We went on tour of Kingsley Air National Guard Base located just south of town. A very small, but clean base. They have an RV park, but is it would be challenging to get "The Beast" onto the base and to the parking area. Wayne got a haircut there and we took some photos of aircraft on display pedestals; each of these aircraft were flown by the Guard at this field in the past.
