We left Lake Tahoe planning to go to Klammath Falls. In route, we decided to stop at Eagle Lake which is close to Susanville. Eagle lake is a large spring fed lake that has the famous "Eagle Lake Trout". These trout are exported throughout the U.S. as well as Europe because of their size and ability to adapt to different places.
On Sunday we left Eagle Lake for a 2 hour trip to Klammath Falls. We arrived at the park where we were planning to stay it was not what we were looking for, so we went to another one...really bad, we went to a third one...really bad. We decided to go look at the Running Y Resort to see another side of this town. Running Y area is beautiful, so if you go to Klammath Falls great place to visit., however nothing for RVs. We decided to drive across highway 66 to Medford. This road's distance is about 60 miles. We were about 40 miles into this drive, which was really tight with lots of hairpin turns, when we saw a sign that said no trucks over 50 feet. We are 40 feet plus a tow car. There was no place to turn around, or remove the tow, so we continued. We come very close to two headon collisions. This was so scary! We made it safely to Medford and found a beautiful park called the Rouge River State Park. After a vodka, we both collapsed. What a day! Jeff is a great driver and I know none of the Alaska highways will be as tough as Hwy 66 in Oregon.

Not even a week out and you have almost had two head on collisions? I have an idea - Why don't you just head on back to Long Beach and we can all fly kites. :)
