We got up at 6. I would have been out before 7, but Ellen decided to pull the top off the cat box cabinet when she was scooping the cat box. It turned out that the bolts that hold the thing together had loosened. I had to tighten them all up. We eventually got out about 7:11.
The whole trip was long and boring. Devyn wouldn't quit yelling, so he got put in the trailer when we stopped at Baker City. We stopped at Boardman for fuel. I went across the street and got a donut even though I swore I'd never go there again.
There was quite a headwind in the gorge. We barely got 10 mpg. We were about 60 miles outside of Portland when the RV guy texted me to ask when we'd be in Medford. There had been a misunderstanding. I was waiting for his OK and he thought we were coming. A whole lot of texts and a phone call ensued. The upshot was we decided to drive through to Seven Feathers and stay the night. We'll go in to Medford tomorrow morning and then come back to Seven Feathers on Friday night.
We stopped at the club on the way to get info on the Mobile Suites and to take pictures of it. We also picked up the mail at Gervais. The trip down from there was uneventful except for the DirectTV cable coming loose. I had to stop on I5 in Salem to tie it up. Traffic was really heavy for much of the trip. That's even though it was just a Thursday afternoon.
We got to Seven Feathers at 5:30. That was 10.5 hours to do a trip that Google said should take 8.5 hours. It was 541 miles, with 4 gas stops, two stops at Gervais, a stop and photo shoot at the club, and a slow drive out of Richland. I don't think that was all that bad. I was pretty wiped out when we got there.
We set up when we got to the park, but didn't unhook. After feeding the pets we took the shuttle to the casino. We ate at the buffet. We started to walk around the casino, but Ellen shit herself. So we went home.
The rest of the evening was TV and surfing. Did I say I was tired?
