THE DRIVE EAST BEGINS

Today, is the beginning of a several thousand mile trek toward the east coast, as we leave the last of 6 Thousand Trails Preserves (TT) where we have stayed, along the Oregon & Washington coasts. We have thoroughly enjoyed these past 6 weeks, and have had the time to explore some new venues, where in the past, we either haven't had the time, or didn't take the time. Our upgraded Thousand Trails membership allows us to stay in about 65 parks across the country, at no charge, for an annual fee of $600. Out of the 4 parks in OR, and the 2 in WA, only 1 park was not within walking distance of the beach. So far, this membership is making good sense for us financially, and otherwise.
Our jeep has a factory air pressure monitoring system, and when Patty started to go to the grocery store yesterday, the system showed the LR tire was down to 18 lbs. We just had the RR tire fixed on the jeep, and the RF tire fixed on the motor home. So, what's up with all the bad tire luck? I put on the spare, so later today, we'll find a Les Schwab tire store on the way to Portland, check out why the tire is leaking, and hopefully get it fixed. This afternoon or evening, we hope to meet up with our friends, David and Louise Hawkins, who are working on Davids Dad's house near Portland. Patty & Louise worked together in Skagway, and it will be good to catch up, since we last saw them over the winter.
