Finally, we were ready. We put the dogs in the truck did a final check on door locks and hit the road. Things were going swimmingly until we got to Salem, about 15 miles from home. That's when the old blogger realized that his wallet was sitting on top of his dresser...at home!
We made an about face and headed for home. Along the way, Jill remembered that she hadn't packed Pogo's medicines. So, to save face, I declared that we were going home for dog meds...oh, and while we are there, we'll pick up my wallet, too.
Once we were back on the road again, we had no further trouble. The traffic in Portland was bearable (barely), and we made fairly good time, although I don't push things, when we are RVing. It's supposed to be relaxing, you know.
By the time we reached Hazel Dell, we realized that we were getting hungry. Jill said she wanted a bacon, cheese Whopper Jr. We found Burger King and enjoyed the fact that it was so easy to pull in the parking lot, park the truck and get lunch. That was not the case with the motor home, especially when we were towing the little car behind.
After lunch we continued to our destination, to wit: Columbia Riverside RV Park, in Woodland, WA. We love this place, and we have stayed here many times in the past. We are parked where we can see the Columbia River from our dinette window. There is one space between us and the view, but it is empty. Jill said, "Even if we only get this one night without somebody parked between us and the river, it will be totally worth it."
Here's what she was talking about:
