We woke up fairly early and turned on the TV in time to watch the shuttle Endeavor take off. Yay for the space shuttle! Boo, that we missed it! We’re glad that it finally took off…God speed to it and the crew.
We stopped by the Handi Quilter’s factory/office. We got an upgrade for the stitch regulator, but found out we didn’t bring all the right parts with us, so we hope this will fix the problem. We’ll find out when we return…tomorrow!
The reason we went via Salt Lake City
We had planned to stop after about 5 hours, but ended up driving further. We’re currently in Hermiston, Oregon, with about 4 hours or so to get home tomorrow. Going over the Blue Mountains was a beautiful drive….if a bit stormy. We got rained on, but that was better than snow! There was snow on the sides of the road at the summit, and a new dusting on several of the mountain sides. We started the day at about 45 degrees, stayed there most of the day, but there was a brief moment of sunshine on the west side of the mountains that reached 60 degrees. Brief moment.
Cloudy and a cool 42 degrees in Utah
We gained another hour coming west, but still pulled in a bit late for a full dinner, so we’re snacking on leftovers. And, because this RV park (Pioneer RV park) has a lot of TV channels on their cable, Harris is watching his first Mariner game…vs. the Minnesota Twins. Both teams are struggling, so we’ll see who wins.
Tomorrow we plan to be home! It’s been a long trip, but we’ve had a great time. We think we’ve been in 28 different states altogether!
Interesting clouds, wetter, and a warmer 60+ in Oregon
Total miles driven=589
