The countdown has finished and we left the grey skies of Seattle for the grey skies of Oregon! Our first stop was Camping World to buy a membership pass to Camping Club USA which entitles us to pay half price at RV campgrounds that accept the pass. We found one called Hi-way Haven in Sutherland which is about 20 miles North of Roseburg. What was cool about this RV camp was that it’s a converted drive-in.

Neither rain, nor sleet, nor dark of night…how does that quote go? None of that would stop us from starting out again…..nor bad head colds. I suggested staying home for a few days, to get well, but Harris was eager to go! Besides, he reasoned, the weather would surely improve as we went south. Ha! We started out in the pouring rain. It cleared up, off and on, throughout the day as we headed south. It rained hard during the night, and even harder on Tuesday. We even hit snow as we went over the pass between Oregon and California. California has been in a huge drought, so the rain was welcome..to them….snow, rain, gusty wind….and we hear Seattle is sunny today!
We’ve basically been bombing through so far, getting up, eating quickly, and driving, driving, driving….no stops for much of anything, but in this weather, who cares? (although we did do a couple of geocaches in Oregon.) We’ve stopped tonight, (the 3rd) outside of Patterson, CA, which is south of Sacramento. Our next stop should be Palm Springs.
