Kfalls.....

 7:17 am - Tuesday - June 17th - Shilo Inn, Klamath Falls, OR - 52° F, humidity 25%, wind 1 mph out of the west by northwest.....crystal clear, blue, sunny skies today with a forecast high of 83° F.  Ironically, on this date in 2013 TLE and I were in Sioux Falls, SD riding our Cannondale tandem road bike.....

.....on a loop bike path around the city.  We made this stop at the falls for which the city is named.

A while back we decided to take a road trip to Klamath Falls, OR to do some shopping, and spend the night.  We've stayed at the Shilo Inn numerous times over the past 4 summers, and always enjoy being walking distance from several good restaurants, but I get ahead of myself.

We wanted to be on the road by 9 am, and beat that estimated departure time by 15 minutes.  It was a perfect driving day with a few clouds, and uncrowded highways. It takes us almost exactly 2 hours to make the drive, and we arrived in town at the local Supercenter Walmart just before 11 am without incident.  We take California 299 west out of Alturas to California 139 northbound in Canby which takes us all the way to the Oregon Border where it changes to Oregon 39 all the way to Klamath Falls.  We rarely see another vehicle from Canby to the Oregon Border.

After the Walmart stop we headed directly across the street to the local Goodwill and did some junking.  We haven't had a junking fix in a long time.  I found a couple of shot glasses for 79 cents each, and a belt whilst TLE found a skirt.  We always find something at this Goodwill without which life cannot continue...lol....

From there we headed to Fred Meyers (Kroger) to buy some groceries, and to, hopefully, get the batteries in two of my watches replaced.  There is a jewelry store inside the store where I hoped to get that done, but in the end it was a no go.  They didn't have a tool big enough to open up my Nixon watch case, so we'll have to stop at Holiday Jewelers Tuesday morning to get that done.

Our next stop was Falls Tap House located near our overnight destination (Shilo Inn) to have some brews and some BBQ brisket sandwiches, plus enjoy the view....

We usually sit on the deck (background), but they do not have their umbrellas out yet, so we sat on the deck

You can see the Shilo Inn in the distance....a short walk.  

....we lingered there for about an hour enjoying great BBQ, and brews before heading to our destination for the evening.....the Shilo Inn.

We always book one of their mini suites, which has a separate area with a couch, and a bar.  About every other time we manage to snag one of the suites with a view of the valley and lake....

.....as we get older it seems that just a pint of beer is like taking a sedative for TLE and I....lol.  After unpacking we both took a long nap....for me almost 2 hours.  Life is good!  Time to get dressed, and start the return trip to LPG&RVR.

Thanks for stopping by!
