Addendum: the diligent website crew editor missed the error in this posts title. “Ramplings” was supposed to be “Ramblings”. Oh well, we try.
Your diligent website crew has a couple new things to check out.
In an effort to bring more photos into the website for your enjoyment, we’re experimenting with a photo page with links to albums of some of the things going on at Timber Valley. It’s currently under the “about” tab in the main menu… just click on the “photos” menu item. There you’ll see mention of recent events. Click on the event you’re interested in and you’ll see photos from that event. Clicking on the first photo will make it appear larger. You can use your arrow keys to flip through the album.
There are additional lots up for trade in the next few days. And don’t miss the weekly Timber Valley Log that’s published every Wednesday.
Bob Feiler led an intrepid group on a walk/hike on the Happy Hill Trail this afternoon. If you haven’t checked it out, please do so soon. Here’s a quick pic of the group:
Chapter 9 member Jerry Christensen (# 158) fishing in the Umpqua River that runs along side the Elkton RV Park, site of the first Chapter 9 Rally of the summer season.
Viewed from the road above the Elkton RV Park, one can see the Umpqua River flowing in the background. Most of the RVs visible in the picture are Chapter 9 rigs.
Rallies usually build in free time when members can gather to play games or simply talk and exchange stories of their RV travels.
Scores of longtime friends and fellow Timber Valley Escapees turned out for Jerry and Darleen Hatch’s 60th Anniversary and Farewell Party on 6/20/18. The Hatches leave the end of June for their next adventure in California.
Longtime friends Art Hampton (#94) (left) and Gene Schrader (#70) share a laugh at the Timber Valley Board Agenda meeting earlier this week.
Music was provided by (from left) David Burns (AWL), Ruby and Ed Bonham (#175) and Nathan Brown (#5)

More than 40 Timber Valley RV Park leaseholders and a few visitors turned out on Friday, 5/11, afternoon to hear Debbie Hamilton, Sutherlin’s community outreach director, give an update on a number of activities and developments happening in our area.
Debbie reports that hanging flower baskets will return with the new light poles on Central in early June.
For the second year, the event was organized by Linda Zink and David Arndorfer (# 16). Terry and Mike Hilty (# 71) produced a delicious “Taste of the South” spread including deviled eggs and a variety of four sandwiches. Desserts of finger sweets were baked by Penelope Hepworth (# 204). David Arndorfer and Jimmy Smith (# 197) manned the Mint Julep bar. Rob Hendershot (# 82) provided expert AV help; while Fred Prout (#44), acting as M.C., kept things entertaining and moving.
Our flags were flown at half staff to mark the passing of Jimmie Atwood, lot 29, on September 30, 2017. Jimmie and wife,Connie Sue became members of Timber Valley, just 2 days after the official opening of the park in March, 1996.
Services for Frank Murphy, who passed away on Sept 4, will be held on Wed., Sept. 27, at 11 a.m. at the National Cemetery, 913 NW Garden Valley Blvd., Roseburg.
