We had one stop to make and we knew it was going to be a painful one, in our wallet. When we drove through California we didn't stop once to fill up with Diesel since the prices are so high there. We managed to make it the entire state but entered Oregon on fumes. We had to drive about 60 miles to the nearest Truck Stop and with every big hill we had to climb the needle would disappear on the gauge, empty. Come on Road Hazard don't fail us now!
We made it to the pump but now had to shell out over $500 to fill the empty belly of the beast. The price of freedom isn't cheap sometimes.
Reta and I are excited to be arriving in Portland because our good friends have moved out here several years ago and we only get to see each other maybe once a year. After we set up Road Hazard we took off to go visit. With a warm reception, complete with sidewalk art, we visited into the late evening. Already planning the next days events.

Elton/Reta - this is Steve McNulty writing - a fellow "love volley" doubles player. Although I've only been a part-time player in recent years. Jim Tracy pointed me to you blog after he heard that I was selling my house in Reston, VA and hoping to spend some time RVing. Have read with interest about some of your escapades along the way.
What a RIG you guys have - 40' plus a tow, wow! I have a horsepower-challenged Rav4 with towing capacity of a mere 1500 lbs. So most likely will do a Thule coffin on top and my bike on the back. And travel the old fashioned way - with tent, alternating in hotel. I see what you mean about the high cost of freedom - $500 for a fillup of Road Hazard - yikes. But what an awesome home on wheels you have. And you save on food and lodging. keep on truckin!
