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 to let those in the know, know, we do know it's Haystacks but always refer to it as Giant Haystacks, having been brought up watching wrestling on TV back in the 60s.

We had just returned from a stay with our daughter’s family in Hampshire, to celebrate the New Year.  This has been a regular practice for quite a number of years, being one of the few occasions where distance doesn’t prevent our meeting together.  This New Year has been starkly different, and the change has been painfully felt.  Even if the virus cannot be totally eliminated, let us hope that, once vaccination is firmly established, we can all resume our natural social gatherings both freely and safely.

The last family social event was on 5th January 2020 when we drove down to Hampshire for my sister-in-laws 80th birthday. I think the last thing we did before the first lockdown was collect the motorhome from the dealer after it had been serviced. 600 miles later it needs another service!!!
