Tuesday morning at 3AM found Harris awake and wondering if he should stay in bed to keep Judy from waking up. Twenty minutes later he was showered and dressed and shortly thereafter a groggy Judy waved him goodbye from the driveway. Seattle was a breeze at that time of the morning and Harris happily listened to Kboom FM on the radio until it was out of range 120 miles south of Seattle. He checked in with Judy via email from Vancouver from one of his selected "cheapest diesel prices" at $3.79. An Egg McMuffin and coffee later (thanks for the free wifi) he was headed into Oregon.
Next stop for gas was Medford at $3.89 and then it was on to California.
Mt Shasta is always a welcoming site
If you click on the picture to enlarge it you can see the outside temp was 72 degrees and the sign just up ahead is for chains required when blinking... Harris was glad he didn't have to use them this year.
Harris pulled over just outside Modesto in a Walmart around 9PM having wanted to avoid Sacramento traffic in the AM. He logged 800 miles. After a few hours sleep he awoke around 3AM again and headed to Bakersfield 200 miles ahead. Diesel was 3.89 there too. Turns out Washington state had the cheapest diesel on the West Coast! The last picture was taken at 7AM headed east out of Bakersfield.
The arrival was warm and sweet (literally sweet from flowers in bloom) and a extra long, extra hot shower was fantastic. Harris is off to see his first game of the year!
