We had a great time at Champoeg. We'd never camped there in all the years we've lived in Oregon, which is unfortunate, as several of the museums and other interesting buildings aren't open this time of year. This is the site of the first "American" government on the west coast, and is definitely worth another visit during the summer when more of the buildings are open.

| Champoeg State Park |
We left Champoeg about 10:30 this morning and headed for Vally of the Rogue State Park. At the first rest stop there was a minor electrical issue to be resolved....all the gauges in the truck had quit working! Gremlins again.... you never know when they'll crop up. After going through the manuals and resetting all the fuses Steve had everything back in working order and off we went. We reached our destination just in time to sit in the evening sun for about 5 minutes before it sank behind the mountain. This is a really pretty park, and we stop here often on our way south. It's situated right along the river and has some really nice walking paths, but it's late and too cold to enjoy a long walk today, so Molly will have to be content with a quick trip around the campground.
Tomorrow is another 5 hour drive, hopefully without Gremlins, with a planned stop in Yuba City.
