Travels with Debbie and Vince: Salem, Oregon

THIS WAS VINCE'S LAST POST THAT NEVER GOT PUBLISHED. I JUST FOUND THIS AS

A DRAFT. I was reviewing our blog so I could familiarize myself with how to post and insert pictures. (Vince always did this job, as he was a great story teller). Next week I will start a new adventure for 12 weeks so stay tune, hopefully I will be as interesting as my WONDERFUL late husband Vince was. Miss you Honey!

We are in Salem, Oregon (July 2014) at the Hee Hee Ilahee Tribal RV Resort. It is a beautiful campground with concrete pads, grassy sites with new picnic tables and all the amenities. The pool is open and heated to 80, but the hot tub was broken. For that reason, we were given a 20% discount. We got some food shopping, clothing shopping, truck wash, and laundry done one day. We also went to one of the most awesome aviation museums in the country. We went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum, home of the "Spruce Goose", Howard Hughes wooden aircraft, the largest wooden plane ever built. Along with a hundred planes, replicas, space capsules and rockets, it is spread across 3 huge buildings and some planes dot the landscape. This is a place you don't want to miss when near Portland. It is located in McMinnville.
