Moving out today and headed to the dealership to pick up my Durango pusher. Going out mid to late afternoon to give them time to finish up, but early enough for them to correct a couple of minor issues with the coach.
Took a nice little 4+ mile walk to the Butteville General Store, the oldest continuously operating business in the state of Oregon. The hike was on bike trail and a little country lane walking. Lots of pines and birch and loads and loads of ripe blackberries. The General store wasn’t much to look at but the homemade black cherry ice cream and cup of coffee I had for breakfast were delicious.
Went back to camp, cleaned up and headed on into Salem. Stopped for lunch before I hit the dealership. Spent a short while there wrapping up business and saying goodbye. Moved out by mid-afternoon and headed for Washington in earnest. Found a nice little parking lot style campground next to the interstate, with a strip mall right next door for some dining options. Grabbed some dinner and settled in for the night.
I can now move on beyond Oregon and range out more than a couple of hundred miles away from Salem. I have the freedom to park the motor coach nearby in a nice comfortable location, and take the Durango exploring and out to hard to reach trail heads so I can hike some more. And I can get my bike down off of the motor coach and get it down where I can reach it and use it just a bit more often.
Michael’s excited face!!!
