Redwood Roamers – July 2020

Joyce Radelich, June Trailblazer, lead 15 Roamers to Lewiston. This was our first outing since the pandemic restrictions were lifted. The outing was from June 4-7. The Peddler’s Fair was cancelled due to the pandemic, but a good time was still had by all. The Roamers shared breakfast together and had a potluck dinner. The last night was steaks at the Moose Lodge. Campfires were held each night. The Roamers next outing will be August 13-16 in Grants Pass, Oregon at Joe Creek Waterfalls RV Resort (KOA). Crystal Arbuthnot, August Trailblazer, is planning a Jet Boat ride through Hells Canyon on the Rogue River.

The next meeting will be on July 1st at 4:30 pm at the Lodge. We hope to see you there!
Happy Trails to You!
