Into Oregon

Mountain Aire Meet-up!

      Staying overnight at a casino that caters to truck drivers makes for a rather noisy and crowded stay. When we first drove into Rolling Hills Casino in Corning, CA, we saw these two other Mountain Aires like ours, so we parked between them. We got to chat with both owners and found that they were a '98, '99 (ours) and 2000! All in a row. We decided we must be a Mountain Aire Rally! It was fun to see the 2000 inside since it looks so much like ours but it had custom features....and it was blue! I almost gave them my number and told them that if they decided to sell to call me first! Amazingly, between us all there were two trucks and another RVer parked! I am astonished at how close those truck drivers can park their rigs. They have some real skill!
     Since it was a bit noisy, we were up and on the road pretty early for us. We decided to postpone breakfast and just took off after gassing up. Breakfast was at a Truck stop near Weed, CA where we gassed up again and took a bit of a break after two hours of driving.
    It was an exciting moment (for me) when we crossed the state line into Oregon! Back in my home country. Ah, breathe the air!

A restful stop.

    The next break was between Medford and Grants Pass at a Rest Stop that also has a State Park next to it. Not only are there lots of BIG trees around here, I also saw MOSS for the first time in over 3 months! I had a lovely walk here which made a great break from the road.
     We had planned to make a stop for a night or two at Timber Valley SKP park in Sutherlin, but we were doing so well we decided to just keep going.

     We finally pulled onto my sister's street in Albany around 6pm, having done just over 400 miles that day. We were glad to get off the road! With the permission of her neighbors, we were able to park across from her house for a couple of nights and have a lovely visit.
