Kingsley Field ANG Base, Klamath Falls, OR

Kingsley Field ANG Family Camp

This is the view out our window at the Air National Guard base RV Park at Klamath Falls,Oregon.  

We were here only a few days, but we enjoyed it lots!  The weather was perfect for us, but the locals, on a couple days, claimed to be dying of the heat.  Ha, we've had our blood boiled thin in Mesa, so hot is really relative...

There are only 5 RV spaces here, and you can't make reservations.  It makes you a little uneasy coming into the base expecting to find parking.  The key in that situation is to arrive early enough that if there is no parking available, you can get to an alternative location.  Only once while we were here were all the sites occupied.  

In the building in the background is the base gym.  It has a very nice work-out room and all the equipment, plus a BB court.  The trailer belongs to a retired USAF/ANG Captain and professor of literature, Maureen Phillips we had the privilege of meeting.  She and her pet Corkie, a long-haired dachshund, are fairly new to living in a box, but seem to be taking to it.  Eloise exposed her to the Dr Fuhrman's regimen, and Maureen said she was going to give it a go.  Good luck, Maureen!

The town has a 'rails to trails' paved walking/biking path.  We broke it down into separate days of biking.  One section had lots of geocaches along its route.  Here's Eloise on the trail of a cache, and another of a success.  Check the size of that one!  

Next, off in the distance you can see the tip of Mt. Shasta. 

   Look at the base of the post here.  See the faucet?  You pull it out of the post to access the cache.                                                                                                             

There is a beautiful park near the huge lake by the city.  It was called Moore Park.  Very well tended, and the layout was interesting with several individual group areas that didn't infringe on others.  Some were playing tennis while we were walking the park.  Can't seem to find any pictures of the park or the lake, so use your imagination.  Also no pictures of our new friend Maureen.  :(

Eloise got some stuff from the farmer's market.  She said it was pretty large, with lots of farmer's booths, and arts/crafts and baked goods.  She said it was a good thing I didn't go...

The hills to the west part of town are steep, with stop signs conveniently located at the bottom of every one.  Put us in mind of parts of Duluth, MN.  It was fun anyway going up and down!

We tried to get to a round dance the night before we were leaving.  We got the information from the internet, but didn't confirm it before going.  Nobody there.  Eloise called the contact when we got back home and learned they had changed the day/time of the dance but hadn't changed the web site.  All dressed up, and nowhere to go!  Since that wasn't the first time that happened to us, you'd think we could learn to check.  Well, maybe next time.

Next stop will be in Bend, OR., and will post in a couple weeks.  Thanks for having a look.
