It took us a while this morning, but we finally got ourselves and Auntie Violet organized and ready for departure. It took both Rick and I to guide Forry enough to back around and get straightened out so that Auntie Violet could get through their gate. I think we only ran over a little bit of lawn...
The sun was shining at Sister Roxy's, but we drove down the road about a mile to where there was a parking lot that we could hook up in (we'd never have made it through the gate turn with Toad II connected...). Of course, then it started to rain again! By the time we got Toad II hooked up and we'd gone through the light check, I was drenched!
When you drive south on Interstate 5, you pass over lots of streams and various other types of water. I was never conscious of just how many bridges we crossed over! It's interesting how aware we have become since the bridge collapse near Mount Vernon.
We drove a few miles on past the turn-off to Woodburn to the next exit in order to diesel up. We ended up with diesel at $3.91 per gallon. We got back on the freeway going in the other direction and pulled off at the Woodburn exit. We are currently parked at the Woodburn/Portland RV Park. We've been here before. It's mainly grass with paved roads. Of course, we are getting great TV reception -- only to watch the Mariners get beat by the Padres tonight. We'll stay here for a couple of days, long enough to get a bit of shopping done and to make sure all of our tanks are empty before we head on to Daughter Dawn's.
