Club Platinum ... Just where old men complain about the weather

My Turn,

I lived on my Daddy In-law's Property in a Travel Trailer for two years where he still lives today.

Maybe 5 miles North Northwest of Sprague River Oregon, two miles to a county maintained Road and a School Bus Stop, three miles to his mail box. The closest stop light is about thirty miles away at Chiloquin Oregon.

He lived there three years before electric came down his Road, and it came for him(five years ago) he still has neighbors who have been there 25 years off the grid.(same road within 400 yards)

Closest Walmart or fast food is 46 miles away in Klamath Falls(where my Wife Highly encouraged me to move)where I live for now.

Law enforcement will only go there in Groups of three cars or more and they stay close to each other and mostly will not go out there at night.

Directions to his house include: Go to the end of the road and turn left, when you get to the fence turn right go to the fork in the trail and go either way when the road looks like it goes straight turn right again, then about a mile, just past the tire used as a road sign you will see a tree with the street name spray painted on it, turn left there, turn in at the first drive park at the gate, the Dogs will let them know you are there, just wait in the truck.

I am plan to go visit him tomorrow I plan to stay a few hours, but I pack to stay two weeks as far as Food/water and sleeping gear, just to be safe.

Edited to add, when you add three to six feet of snow(unusual but it happens) travel can get tricky.
People out there are pretty self sufficient and rely on Neighbors a lot more than town folk do.

I checked ... and you win.
 
Ha! When living in my hometown as a kid, the nearest traffic light was 10 miles away in the neighboring town. That was the only one traffic light there. The second nearest was about 60 miles away in a bigger city. Now when driving the lady to a mall, she keeps talking and planning what to buy, the traffic lights here are closer one to each other than a man can handle sometimes :o

We overslept the morning swimming session today, so we went for a short run instead in the afternoon. And then slept again. Now it's evening, so we're going to sleep again. Good night ya'll! :D
 
Cheers Cabra! I had one an hour ago. Now a glass of red wine and off to bed :D
It's getting cold here again.
 
man I'm drinking a sixer and hitting the sack. I'm worn out. spent the weekend in the woods with a under rated sleeping bag. and then worked all day. I'm beat.
 
Morning.
Beer did work......but baby was not feeling better.


Ok, that does not sound right. What I mean is, I drink the beer and went to bed. My wife was taking care of our daughter because she is kind of sick from the stomach.
In any case, I need like 3 sixers more and a week of sleep.
