Day 3228

 I woke up at 7:30 and got up for breakfast.  Then I went out to hook up.

The process went as normal except for the water.  It fought me all the way.  The connections at the well house were very tight.  The ones at the trailer were, too.  I had to get two wrenches to loosen the connection between the hose and the splitter.  The splitter and hose were covered with greasy mold. Once it was on your hands it didn't want to come off.  Finally, the hose was overgrown with grass and had to be ripped out of it.

Once that was done everything else went pretty easily.  The hookup was the smoothest I've done in a long time.  We left the club at 8:30.

The first 70 minutes of the trip sucked.  That's how long it took to get to I84.  There was a backup at Wilsonville.  After that it cleared up a little until I205.  I5 was a parking lot just after the exit.  That meant I205 was the way to go.  Unfortunately there was the usual backup at Foster.  I think it took almost half an hour to get through.

Once we hit I84 it was smooth sailing all the way to Pendleton.  We even got 10.6 mpg.  We fueled up and started up the grade.  We got 6.3 there.  It didn't get much better the rest of the way to Baker City due to a very strong headwind.  We ended up with 9 mpg to Richland.  We got there about 3:15.

The park is completely empty due to the fire and low water.  We got to choose our spot.  Setting up was a little extra work because I had to connect the sewer and add DEF.

I went over to hook up the Bronco.  That was easy.  Attaching the new license plate frames wasn't.  The old ones were held on with star screws that I had to take off with a wrench and a pair of pliers.  The result looks good though.

I got back to the trailer at 5.  I did some surfing and then had a beer and watched videos.  I got sick of YouTube and watched movies.  

Dinner was Yakisoba.

Side note: the place is crawling with quail.  Fuck Oregon for delaying the season.
