First Few Days

We are on our way. We left on Saturday night after dinner with all our kids. What a nice send off they gave us. Good thing we did as we still had to wait at the border over 1/2 hour. I can imagine how long it would have taken if we had waited until Sunday morning. Only went 1 hour to Tualip Casino and stayed for free in their parking lot. The next morning we did some grocery shopping and only went a little way down I5 and found the toilet needed a part. By the time we got to Salem it was 5:00 and Camping World (RV parts store) was closing. They ordered in our part but it wouldn't be ready until the next day. They told us to park in their large parking lot behind the store and stay overnight. Good idea and again for free. Next morning we got our toilet fixed and were on the road. We went as far as Canyonville and were looking for a campground and what did we find on the side of the road but Seven Feathers Casino. We went in there and parked again for free. Then we went into the casino and they gave us $5 each free gambling money. We played the slots and won $20. So  we went and had dinner for the $20. Good Deal. Today we took our time travelling South and tonight we are in Orland Ca. As soon as we hit California border we hit warm weather. I think tomorrow we can wear shorts. We are goint through San Francisco tomorrow. I'll blog again when I can.

  1. Wow! what a great start! The toilet part sounds like fun.... I got some questions but I prefer not to ask hehe. Enjoy the pacific coast and post some pictures when you get some. The squirrels say hello, they are very thankful for all the "dessert" you left for them. Other than that, no fire alarms and I haven't fed any raccoons... yet (jk!). Love you both!! Have a FANTASTIC trip! Jeff and Kary
