The Trip South

The Trip has been completed.  We are settled in our site in the VIP campground.  Our trip went as below.
We left Canby Friday morning and drove to Eugene.  While fueling up at Fred Meyer, I checked the ODOT webcam and report and found that Willamtte Pass required chains.  Bad.  So had to back track and drive over Santiam Pass.  It added several hours to our trip, the rig got coated with pumice dirt, but we got safely over the pass.
  First two nights in Klamath Falls with J & T.
  Second night in Hawthorne, NV at the Whiskey Flats RV Park, a good place to stay in the area. We spend some time getting things put away that had been packed at home after the slides were closed so this was the first time they were reopened.  It was cold there so homemade chicken soup tasted great. 19 degrees when we got going the next morning.  Had to scrape the windshield.  Sunny drive south
  Third night in Parker, AR. in a less then average mobilehome and rv park. left the rig hooked up again.  Basically ate and went to bed.  Not as cold.
   That left us with a 200 mile trip for our last day.  Stopped in Buckeye for fuel ( $2.71/ gal diesel) and groceries at Fry's (Kroger group store along with Smiths, and Fred Meyer).  116 miles south and we arrived at ORPI.  Hugs at the Visitor Center and then to our site.  1400 miles in total.
