Saturday, June 17th – to Klamath Falls, OR

Started the day in the relaxation mode by sleeping in and having a late breakfast.  We beat the noon checkout time by 5 minutes.  We went down the road just a little to the town of Medford where we did a little cruising around and some shopping.  When it started getting dull we decided to head for our nest destination – Running Y Ranch, in Klamath Falls, OR about 90 miles away.

Running Y Ranch is a combination of timeshares and a resort hotel within view of the Cascade Mountains.  Our objective is to do day trips from there.

We travel along Lake of the Woods Highway where we are given great views of the snow atop the peaks of Mount McLoughlin in the distance.

The road takes us through the Rogue River National Forest.

Following check-in we settled into our room and then we had a late lunch/early dinner at the Ponderosa Bar & Grill before settling in for the night in preparation for a long day tomorrow.
