August trip... Kelso, Washington to Glacier then ?
Since we're going to be in Kelso anyway visiting family... We decided to make a trip of it... Comments welcome on RV parks and routes! Highway 12 from I5 to Yakima.. Then 82 to 90 to Spokane Highway 2 to Kalispell to visit Glacier Back Highway 2 to 95 down to Coeur d Lane 95 to Lewiston... Over 12 to Walla Walla Washington... to 11 to Pendelton... then 395 down to Cali at Carson City to cut over to Highway 50 OR cut west at 26 in Oregon to go through Bend on 97 to I5 and home. Thinking about a week in Kalispell... to visit Glacier.. Lewiston or Coeur d lane for a week?790Views0likes1CommentOregon 199 to crescent city, ca
Thought I had this all figured out.. but now I learn 199 probably isn't a good road for 40foot plus tow... We are trying to get from Ashland, ore area to Brookings... Think we'll have to drive up i-5 to catch 42 and cut over at Bandon... Any other suggestions?? Thanks1.3KViews0likes8CommentsBad day for a Journey...
Wish I had thought to take a photo... On Highway 50 over Echo Summit climbing away from Lake Tahoe... A 40foot Journey stopped not quite from the summit... in the most impossible location - the 3 mile narrow section with cliff on one side and rock on the other -no shoulder... He had our sympathy... A Caltrans truck had to drag it probably two miles over the summit to a wide area to await a tow truck. There was no other choice as he had the highway blocked. I guess he put it in neutral and tried to steer... Couldn't have been a worse location for the dreaded stop engine routine...456Views0likes0CommentsRe: Don't be this person--PIC
My experience surrounded a gas pump and a very rude family. It was a regular station and the diesel was at only one pump. The family pumped gas and sat... and went in the store... and sat... and went to the bathroom and sat... All while I was idling the diesel right behind them patiently waiting. I had the ATV trailer attached and was at such an angle that backing up was an issue and besides, it was obviously the only diesel pump.. I'm the DW and that family had some rather beefy grumpy men among them so I decided I would just wait rather than push the issue. But luckily after 10 minutes and me getting ready for battle, the attendant got involved and told them to MOVE. I do not understand the mentality.340Views0likes0Comments
