7 Feathers to Portland

It rained a little over night but the sun is shining this morning in Canyonville, Oregon.
We left for Wilsonville , a few miles south of Portland. Stopped for lunch in Salem. We ran into some heavy rain showers on the way.
We arrived at the Pheasant Ridge RV park where we wanted to stay and found they were fully booked!
We phoned another place we had stayed at before and they were booked too,so we tried a place the lady at Pheasant Ridge suggested and luckily they had a space. It was 7 miles back the way we had come but we took it anyway.
We haven't encountered a full park yet this trip so didn't make a reservation  but it is Rose Festival this weekend in Portland with all kinds of activities going on so maybe that's why everything is busy.
We arrived at Aurora Acres at about 1:30 and will stay 3 nights so we can explore Portland.
This place is nice enough, lots of trees and a nice park across the street for Mickey but they only have wifi in the office-clubhouse building.
Fortunately I have my Cantenna, a home-made signal booster that many people laugh at .
There was a faint signal at the trailer that wouldn't connect but my trusty Cantenna boosted it to "excellent" so now we have wifi, yay!
Let them laugh now :)
