Day 3092

 The alarm woke us up at 7:00.  We got up, had breakfast, and then hooked up.  We left at 8 again.

The trip was pretty smooth.  I did have a couple of minor jousts with trucks, but that's to be expected on I84.  There's a lot of up and down for most of way.  We got 11.2 mpg for the 300 miles.  I thought that was pretty good considering we had a headwind for much of the way as well as a regen.  It also meant that a fuel stop wasn't necessary.

The regen was a little worrisome.  It happened during a hilly section.  The regen software doesn't like short periods of high load followed by short periods of low load.  It went into "WARM" several times during the process.  Eventually it did stop with the soot at 24%.  That dropped to 0 within 6 miles.

We got to the park about 12:55.  That's 5 hours to go 293 miles.  I was happy with that.  Traffic northbound on the road to the park was backed up from the freeway to the club.  Luckily we were going southbound.  The people at the part told of of a way to avoid the backup so that we could go get fuel.  We drove 2 miles to a station that was $3.59, compared to the one across the street that was $3.87.

We set up and then went for fuel.  The truck took 29 gallons, filled to the filler neck.  We also stopped at BiMart and got water (10 cents less per bottle than Oregon), some ammo, and a dog ball.  Then we went home.

I went to the farm store across the street from the park.  Again, sleeping and getting Scooter to the next level had made Ellen too tired to come.  At least she had enough energy to fix tacos for dinner.

After dinner I watched some videos and then switched to surfing.  Bedtime was early again today.
