Driving South

Tim & I set out driving through the fog of the great Northwest, anxious to see sunshine. We're accustomed to a 1300 mile drive south in the car in a brutal 2 days. I wanted to take our time and do some sightseeing on the way, but my driver thought otherwise. We agreed upon taking 5 days for the drive south; driving about 5-6 hours daily. I was not the greatest co-pilot that first day. OK the first several days. I felt like every time we passed a trucker I could reach out and hand him the Grey Poupon!

Our first overnight stop in the motorhome we planned dry camp at Seven Feathers Casino in Canyonville, OR. While setting up, Tim realized the water pump was malfunctioning. So he hopped back behind the wheel and drove to an RV Park near Grants Pass. The next day we stopped for a new water pump and Tim installed it when we stopped for the night in Corning, CA.

Our third night we had pre-planned to watch the Seattle Seahawks on Monday Night Football.  Harris Ranch in Coalinga is our usual first night stop when travelling by car to San Diego. Unfortunately the game was not a good one for the Seahawks. The next morning we started out early for Palms River Resort in Needles, CA so we could spend the afternoon relaxing at a nice locale in the sunshine.
