Arrived at Happy Trails - Lot #651 today!!

12-31-08 - Left all the snow of Lynden and stopped at Lisa & Dwayne's house to pickup a rug that Lisa had gotten from Eddie Bauer. Then had a rainy day off and on until we stopped at Scio, OR where our friends Gene & Shirley Pilcher live. They are about 12 east of Albany, OR off I-5.
Had a great dinner that Shirley cooked for us. Then she gave us a very nice breakfast. Put on a total of 378 miles to their house.

1-01-09 - We left Gene & Shirley's, battled lots of rain & wind. Then has we headed down I-5 to the south the weather improved and we went over the passes with the roads mainly dry and some sun. We had more snow at home then we had over the passes. The traffice was really busy, since all these people were coming home from the holidays. After traveling a total of 430 miles our second day came to a stop at Willows Exit where Hwy 162 and I-5 cross. Stayed at a Wal-Mart parking lot and had a good night. When we woke up it was cool and froggy.

1-02-09 - Headed down the road from our Wal-Mart parking lot and still had the really rough road on I-5. The right lane is just the pitts and it is hard to move over too far for the cars. The weather wasn't bad and had just a little rain. Then we headed towards Palmdale and LanCaster to the TT Park at Soledad. Arrived at the park after dark. Total miles for the day was 476 miles our longest day so far.

1-03-09 - Last leg of our trip into Surprise, AZ. We traveled a total of 390 miles. Great total for the trip was 1.674 miles from Lynden to our lot at Happy Trails. We had a good day from Soledad TT Park after getting away from the fog. Had clear sailing with a short stop at Palm Springs to say Hi to our Pickleball friends. Got to Happy Trails just about at dark. So had to wash rig and set-up in the dark. Didn't have too much trouble.
