ET Highway Adventure - Departing

Campsite at Chickahominey

We got off to a slow start.  Left Battle Ground at 11 AM which is about and hour late for us.  In Orchards, we stopped at a “Lirttle Free Library” (LFL) to exchange some books.  We mostly want to drop off some but it was pretty full. Traffic was light heading out of town on I84.  Taking the Wood Village exit, we headed for Mt. Hood.  There was a convenient Taco Bell in Sandy where we stopped to eat a fast lunch, then we continued our Journey toward the mountain.  There was lots of snow on Mt Hood, so much that you could not even see the ski area from the road.  Since is was was around 40 degrees, the roads were clear of snow and we did not encounter any ice.  We continued on to Madras were we got gas and stopped at two more LFL’s.  From there it was a short hop to Prineville and another LFL.  Finally we set our sights on Chickahominey Camp Ground near Burns.  We got here just after sun down with just enough light to crank up the generator.  To our surprise, there were two other RV campers here.  Last time we stayed here there was nobody.  Supper was Yakatori Chicken Rice  bowls with Almond milk and mixed nuts.  Yummy.  After supper I fiddled with the wireless thermometer and got it going again.  In the morning we can tell how cold it is outside.  I suspect it will be about 30.
