Grants Pass, Oregon

We stopped for two night in Grants Pass, on our way to Ashland. We had heard from several people about the wonderful community there. We also spent an evening with a couple we met at Fort Stevens, fellow park hosts.

So we go to the Chamber of Commerce for information on the town and surrounding environs, expecting glowing reports of harmony and comity. Glance at the local newspaper. "...five of the eight members of the Grants Pass City Council have been recalled." As in voted out of office prematurely. Just folks, I reckon.

We spent two nights at beautiful Josephine Schroeder County Park on the edge of town. Tall trees, well kept, good utilities. Tho we were forced to move to a new site the second day because the host had not posted the upcoming site reservations. Maybe one of those unemployed council members could do a better job.
