Canyonville, Oregon: Dave and I were at Cougar Canyon Golf Course for our 11:30a tee time. The course is short, but there is not a flat spot on the entire track. A pretty course and only $42pp with cart. This is bare-bones golf. No GPS, not even a ball washer on the cart. It is you, a guide book, and your wits to get you through 18 holes.

Oh. Goodness. There were four ladies holding up the entire course. They were having a lovely time, laughing and putting for days. We were so delayed. Backed-up by several holes. At one point, while waiting, I closed my eyes to enjoy the sound of a babbling creek and the birds chirping... and I fell asleep! Asleep in the golf cart. I woke up and did a little on-line shopping via my cell phone.
Are you getting the idea we had to wait on every dang hole? Once for TWENTY MINUTES! It was 84 degrees.
At least the scenery was spectacular. This course is not called Cougar Canyon because they see kangaroo in the area. Cougar, bear and deer live here. We saw so many species of birds today - hawks, ravens, turkey vultures, geese, duck, towhee and a variety of song birds.

Can't see the deer? A little help:


Help me out, gardeners, botanists, arborists...

But, oh my goodness, did I have plenty of time to snap photos.
After the turn, the wait became completely unbearable. I updated our auto policy, booked flights to Los Angeles, balanced the checkbook,
We returned to the RV, showered, and took the free shuttle bus to the casino. After a cocktail and no gambling, I decided we should go back to the bus to eat due to all the swirling cigarette smoke.... eating in an ashtray, etc. While waiting at the casino entrance for the shuttle, I noticed a door for the Steelhead Lounge - NONSMOKING! Dang, was I happy to see this. We had an appetizer at the smoke-free bar and then took the shuttle back to our motorhome.
Not the greatest day, but still - any day in your RV is a great day.
Right?

He could have caddied for me today.
Until my next update, I remain, your sub-par correspondent.
