Day 44 Elk River Clan

    We stayed out by the camp fire for a bit and talked about everything that has happened on our adventures so far. Now it is time to get ready to go and head out for a new adventure. Emma is out by the Georgetown Motor Home with Joyce. I heard Joyce say that Pagie was sick and they are worryed about her. They called Teenie to ask her what they can do for Pagie. Pagie told Joyce that her whole body aches and she is sick to her stomach. Mira said that she thinks that she saw Pagie eating some wild berries out by the trail. Teenie knew right away what was going on and said that Pagie will be okay by tonight.
   We got both of the tow cars hooked up and we are ready to go. We are going up the Elk River to meet up with a business partner of Jim and Doug. We will be staying with the Elk River Clan for one or two nights. Emma was telling me that this Clan was started by Big Foot Jim little brother Bob and his mate Sue. They have three kids: Bob jr. , Suzanne and Mary. Big Foot Bob came here about 4 years ago with his two kids and Jim's best friend and business partner. He wanted to start an southern Oregon Clan. Emma also told me that he was shot by a hunter about 6 or 7 years ago up on Mt. Hood.
That was the reason he decided to move to southern Oregon. He lost part of his left hand in the shooting.
  Everyone is in their Motor Homes and we are getting ready to start out now. I can't wait to meet Jim's little brother, Bob. I hope that we get there soon so l can get some rest. Joyce just called and said that Bob is planning a big B.B.Q. tonight. Bob has build a new fire pit for the B.B.Q. . We are heading south on Hwy 101 now and the roads are not real busy right now. The park was great but it is time for a new adventure and from what l was told me, Bob will supply it in spades. Big Foot Bob has a very young group of Big Foots in his Clan. I was very surprised to find out that there is 9 pairs, plus the kids in this Clan. The area that they are in , has a  large heard of Elk and a lot of plant life, onion potato and all kinds of wild greens to eat.
    We just turned off Hwy 101 onto Elk River Rd. #208 headed up into the Rogue-River ---Siskiyou Nat'l Forest. After a time went by , we tried off on N.F. Rd. #5502 then up an unmarked road. Now we are heading west deep into the Nat'l Forest. We all stopped at a large pond on Bald Mountain Creek this is were the Elk River Clan is located. I was then told that there is a camp ground just a few miles up the road. The camp is on the N.F. Rd. #5020 just a few minutes away. It is ran by a young couple but they don't know that Big Foot Bob owns it.
They get paid by a PayPal account that was set up by Bob. Time to get some rest will talk to Bob to night.
