2 close calls, celebrating with a pint of home made ice cream

   
Leaving Howard Miller and heading toward Marblemount to get some much needed propane, down to 8%.  Lucky for us Howard Miller had electricity so we didn't loose the frig stuff which runs on propane.  We won't talk about who was going to get propane in Birdsview.  Is that not protection, how often does a County Park have hook ups?  Actually Washington and Oregon State campgrounds are beautiful, well maintained and offer water and electric. $5 to dump.  ( not trash).  You can buy lots of Cascadian brands in the stores, it was really cool to see their farms.  We bought some Boysenberry Jam, we didn't know blueberries grew on rather large bushes almost tree like.  This is the most beautiful valley, we hate to leave, we did have 3 nights

   
Well about the close calls, we were headed out of the campground onto the 20, it was a sharp right and we had to swing wide to see left..sometimes that makes us to too far right and there was a car in that lane.....you know I hate to say anything but this was no time to bite my tounge, look out!!!   You saved us he said (ahh that was nice, we have an agreement when driving.  The passenger can say anything, if you saw it fine, but many times the driver does not see and the passenger can help avoid an accident).  
 I accidentally deleted the wire picture, but it was like the wire in this picture.  We passed the Cascadian Farm and it looked so cute we had to turn around.  Plus we saw the home made ice cream sign and after all it was the 4th of July.  There wasn't a good spot to turn around, I pointed out a few but I guess they were not good enough (actually they were very good).  Then there was a street on the right so surely I thought we would turn right, low and behold we make a quick left and it wasn't a driveway and it had bars across it so we were sticking out in the middle of the road (highway 20).  Yikes.  Windows down, hanging our heads out and talking loudly to each other, we made it!!  So glad to go back to the Farm and regroup, eat a pint of Rasberry Chocolate Chip ice cream together and get 2 more for the road.  It is 4th of July after all!.    Oh but the part about the electrical wire, all the places that I thought were good to turn around, these wires were hanging down lower than the motor home, we didn't even notice until going back and then we saw some had like red pieces (small) of material hanging from them.  If we would of turned right we would have run into them, ouch!
