Friday, August 30, 2013, Move to Hayden Island in Portland, OR


Thursday's wind and rain detached part of the living room slide cover, so I got out the ladder to see what could be done. It turned out to be relatively easy to press the cover spline back into the groove on the coach, but we will have to see if it just pulls out again with the next wind.

We headed to Jantzen Beach RV Park on Hayden Island in Portland, OR. More back roads through small towns made the trip exciting, but since just under half of the 119.7 miles (4,208.4 trip/63,689.5 total) was on I-5 the drive did not wear me out this time. You can see Sam stays pretty relaxed no matter what kind of road we drive. He curls up in his bed when we start and stays put until I set the parking brake at the next stop. Of course, rest stops get him excited until he sees he is just in a big parking lot. He will take a quick stroll around and then he's ready to get back on the road.


Joani loved the clouds as we were driving, so she snapped a few pictures through the windshield. She was able to shoot through the few clear spots with no bugs.


I just love cloud drama and the muted colors of the ships.


Looking at the mountains of logs being processed, it is difficult to believe there are any trees left growing. I guess we have to trust that the industry is managing things well enough that they don't put themselves out of business, but it still is a bit disconcerting to see. Of course, it would be a bother if I found they were all out of 2x4's at the Home Depot.
