When I traded in the old RV I was told the solar power system it had did not add to it's trade value. So I said I would keep the panels, three 90 watt high output solar panels that I had paid $515 each for. And in Eugene I save sales tax which will probably about pay for the fuel to drive the RV down there and back. But I'll also get a couple of weeks on the Oregon Coast out of it, too.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-10964551771485986972007-08-11T20:07:00.000-07:002007-08-11T20:07:00.000-07:00just beautiful! what fabulous photos!just beautiful! what fabulous photos!ellie beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04942993108764099246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-58360026202464529372007-08-11T18:12:00.000-07:002007-08-11T18:12:00.000-07:00Awesome pictures Meno!

We will be going to Eugene, OR in late Sep to have the solar system installed on our motorhome and plan to jog over to Newport, then spend a week or two heading home up that coast. That is a real advantage to an RV. you take your "home" with you, kind of like a turtle (yes, sloooowly), so you are sleeping in your own bed every night, yet the scenery can change on a regular basis. One day the desert, the next day the mountains and then the ocean on the third day. It is easy to make that happen with an RV.Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30306964.post-56444888810837770872007-08-11T13:18:00.000-07:002007-08-11T13:18:00.000-07:00That shot of the birds is amazing, the seagull wit...That shot of the birds is amazing, the seagull with it's wings outstretched.
