We made it! After driving for 7 straight days from Tok, Alaska, to Coburg, OR, covering 2,370 miles, we're here in the Central OR area, where the first of several things will start to happen. 1st dental apppointment tomorrow, windshield replacement the following day, and motor home maintenance/service the next day. When those are out of the way, we'll be heading over to the coast, where we're booked into the Thousand Trails at Whalers Rest for a couple of weeks.
We decided yesterday morning to head straight south on I5, rather than take the longer route down the west side of Puget Sound. And, instead of stopping for one more night before getting to our destination, we agreed to keep the pedal to the metal, and just get here. This morning, I'm glad we did, as we now have all day to catch up on things like grocery shopping, cleaning some of the Alaska dust out of the motor home, washing the Jeep, and a host of other things that have been put off for over a week. This isn't the way the summer was originally planned, but sometimes you just have to be flexible, and roll with the punches.
Kitty update - Gracie is hanging in there, but not eating very much. She acts pretty normal, but that's what cats do. They're good at disguising their ailments, but according to the Vet in Anchorage, her kidney failure was well advanced. I think another blood test is on the near horizon, when we can compare the results with the last two, and get a better idea of how she's doing.

New to your site. Hope Gracie feels better soon. It will take me a while to catch up--especially interested in your travels in the northwest.
