On the Saturday prior to departure I spent a few hours with four of the gals I worked with in Baker City. We hit the mall and had lunch in Tri-Cities. We had fun catching up and telling stories. My fortune cookie was rather interesting:
On Sunday I said "see ya later" to my family and finished up at Mom's house. Her place has been sold and the new owners take possession in 60 days. That was a rough day. By the end of the day I was a mess. Poor Jim had to take Buddy and Charlie to their temporary home by himself. I wasn't fit for leaving the house by that point.
We pulled out between 9 and 10 - not bad considering we had a 9 a.m. departure planned and this was our first trip out. We had a few errands to do in town, then hit the road.
We made it to Bud's RV Park outside of Seaside around 5. Getting the trailer and bikes set wasn't to bad for our first go 'round. One bike moved a little bit, but thanks to the wheel chock no damage was done. Once we discovered that and tightened the straps everything rode great. The truck pulled the trailer well, even with a strong head wind. I don't think we'd want to go any bigger with the trailer or smaller with the truck. We found a nice diner to eat in, made a grocery run, and are now settled in for the night.
On Wednesday we're driving or riding up to Washington (depending on the weather) to see a friend and visit her husband's art show. On Friday and Saturday a few friends are staying close by so we can hang out for a while and tell tall tales to each other. Other than that, we'll explore the area and play on the beach.
Day 1 = a great success.
