We bid goodby to the Harrison House and hit the road to Medford. Having been three days since buying gas, it was time. At each stop we checked the water and then on our way. Our lunch stop was at the Seven Feathers Truck Stop. Fred had apple pie ala mode and enjoyed every bite.
The car got a bit hot on some of the longer grades but came back down each time. We got into town in time to go to the Rogue Cheese Factory and then on to Roxy Ann Winery for some Pinot from the Rogue Valley.
All was well until we arrived at our hotel in Medford. Some of the reservations either did not exist or had been misplaced. The Wilkinson's and the Griffin's were shuffled off to the Red Lion for the night. We just barely got settled in our rooms when it was time to leave for dinner. Luckily dinner at Capers was just around the corner.
There we met my brother and his wife Dee, then Mathew my nephew and the head chef came out to greet us. We proceeded inside where Mathew had arranged a private room for us to have conversations, catch up on what the Bueno's have been doing and to enjoy some more Oregon Pinot Noir.
Dinner was spectacular, everyone got order individually and no one went away hungry. Maybe that is because the desserts were a great finish to the evening. If you are ever in Medford, plan to go to Capers for a terrific meal, you will not be disappointed. Time for bed, got an early call in the AM to beat the heat over the Siskyous. Got some real mountains to climb tomorrow.
