Canyonville, Oregon
We had a wonderful drive from Red Bluff to Canyonville on Thursday. The drive through the Shasta Lake area is just spectacular! We stopped at a rest area shortly before we left California and had lunch and gave Alex a nice walk. We made a fuel stop after we hit Oregon, paid $4.32 per gallon in California, and was surprised to discover the price was only $4.28 per gallon. Boy these fuel companies really have us by the short hairs! Oh well, it is what it is and we are on the road. The weather here has been great - low 70's, sunny, and real cool evenings.
When we got to the & Feathers Resort we discovered our friends Mike and Patty Diehl were also here. It is such a small world. I guess the weather has been bad and they have slowed down their northern movement which allowed us to catch up with them. We had a couple of drinks on Thursday afternoon and got caught up all of what has been going on. I think we will be having dinner with them tonight, Saturday, and tomorrow as well.
I played golf yesterday at the Myrtle Creek G.C. about 10 miles north of here in the town of Myrtle Creek. The course was in wonderful condition and as you can see from the picture above there is lots of elevation change on literally every hole. I joined up with a fellow from Vancouver B.C. who was also staying at 7 Feathers and we had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful day. I was able to make one birdie, #17 a 170 yard par 3 where I hit it about 8 inches from the hole, probably any further away and I would have missed it as my putting was less than stellar today.
We will stay in today to watch the Open and do some coach cleaning. It will be interesting to see if McIlroy can keep it together this time. We will leave here on Monday and drive to Bandon, OR over on the coast where I will do a Golf Digest visit on the Old Macdonald course on Wednesday. Bandon Dunes will be hosting the Mens and Womens Public Links Championships on Old Macdonald and Bandon Trails the following week so I will hopefully see some of my old APL buddies while we are still in Bandon. Be safe.
