September 10, 2025 Outdoor RV tour
Human… are
you awake? Can you hear my purr
box? Can I paw your muzzle? Are you awake yet?
It was a
quiet night outside of the Outdoor RV factory.
Rudy always likes looking out the front door, but there wasn’t much to
see for him. My walk took me around the neighborhood. On one side of the street is a whole lot of
agriculture. I am not sure what the crop
is, maybe sugar beets. The other side of
the street is industry. It is a rural
road so it is good for walking. It is
cool and breezy.
I finish my
wandering then head back to Artie. We
headed for the factory tour. No photos
are allowed. There are 3 other couples
and they all own an Outdoor RV. We are
the only scofflaws, and since Arctic Fox is in the same family, we are still
ok!
It was
interesting walking through the assembly line.
From a blank chassis, to flooring, to cabinets, to walls and the roof
and sliders. You can see the quality and
the craftsmanship throughout the rigs.
They really are made well. The
tour took a little more than 2 hours and left us totally impressed. But… do we want one…. They already have modifications slated for
the rig that we liked so if we go that route, it is going to be a long time
off, and we might be done by then!
Afterwards,
we got on the road. Our friends Kathy
and Brian will be near the town of John Day, and we will be heading right that
way, so we figured we might as well meet up.
We leave La
Grande heading west on hwy. 244. It is a
mountain road, with rocky crags and lots of pines. Of course, there are streams too. Up and down, round and round. It is about a 35-40 mph road. At times, the
road opens up to beautiful agriculture, then the mountains creep in. Then the road opens up to cattle ranches,
then the mountains creep in. When we get
to hwy. 395, we turn south. More scenic
eye candy. Nice rolling hills, lots of
pines, and just plain pretty country. It
starts to rain for the last 10 miles.
Big, fat rain drops! It rains!
At the John
Day hwy (26), we turn west. It is still
a rural road with agriculture. The rain
subsides and we make our way to the Fish House Inn and RV park, where our
homies are waiting. Time to catch up…
It is
raining, with lightening and thunder.
Love it!
We drove
only about 125 miles, but it took nearly 3 hours.
We are in
our 6th week, and we haven’t killed each other!
