During this time of the lockdown we keep looking at photos to remind us of where we were "on this date".

!2 months ago today we were in our RV in Siskiyou National Forest Oregon. We had come about 2 miles up the track to find it blocked by a tree. frown There had been nowhere to turn around before this so we had to go on to find a place for the night and to turn around. We had information that there was camping spots on this track. Normally i would have gone up and checked it out on our scooter that we carried on a rear rack. Being very tired and relying on information we had I had not frown We managed tojust get past going uphill but the back end of the RV  slid into the bank.

The photos show us on the way back down  knowing we only had one chance, as if we reversed we would slide again. The big worry is the air conditioning unit on the roof which is the highest point. The root of the tree was on the high side up the steep embankment and we managed to raise the lower end just enough and use our sturdy step ladder to prop it up a little higher. We managed to get back down OK and no damage anywhere to the vehiclesmile

So what were you up to 12 months ago?

Just had a look at our diary. The answer to what were we doing is basically Nothing. We were out in the caravan but on our way home from Devon to North Wales after a 4 week break but the Great British weather thwarted us with gale force winds and lots of rain as we hunkered down at the Clubs non facility site at Bromyard Downs. Arrived home the following day.

We ventured out for a paper but that was all she wrote.

We were returning from a trip to the NE to see our son and family. we spent a couple of nights looking around the Cayton Bay site and area. The best bit was travelling over the Yorks Wolds and the Humber Bridge the next day, then home. smile
