Just as a teaser I'll start here with post or tow (That should read two--talk about a freudian Typo) as an outline and fill in the details when we get internet again.
Monday 17 October
We had planned to set off on Sunday but the weather forecasts were not encouraging: the third of three wind and rainstorms due on the Saturday to Sunday.
We had also had the rig in to the tech last week to check an annoying small diesel leak which left a film of oil on the towbar, cables and front of the Jeep. Chris advised that is was very small and appeared to be coming from the lift pump that we had had replaced in Redding California last March and should be under warranty. Since time was getting tight we decided to have Redding Freightliner see it on our way south.
So Monday morning we caught the 10:30 Coho from Port Angeles. On the other side we didn't have to stop for the Ag inspection so Art went for fuel at Safeway while Gillian shopped there for the groceries that we couldn't bring in (Fruit, veg, dogfood). Art was in the process off hooking up the Jeep to the motorhome when Gillian arrived back the supplies so we were soon on the road south.
The rain was holding off for the most part, not a bad drive down the 101 to Olympia where once on the I-5 the rain began to increase but not too bad. Prana was traveling fairly well, a bit of fussing and wining on occasion but generally settled. Our late lunch stop was at the first Rest Area on the I-5 south of Olympia.
After lunch and a rest, we pressed on through increasing rain finally stopping for the night at the Blue Ox RV Park in Albany Oregon. We would be in lots of time for our 7:00AM Appointment at Redding Freightliner Thursday morning. Yeah, Right.
