GOODBYE WASHINGTON - HELLO OREGON

I was so tired last night that I fell asleep right away (which is unusual for me) and slept through the night.  I didn't even hear Walmart's loud parking lot sweepers.  Denis got up before I did and figured out how to install a plug for the brake buddy.  Unlike our old Saturn, when you pull the towing fuse on the Equinox it shuts down everything and our brake buddy wouldn't work.  So Denis fixed that problem before I woke up.

After a long, hot shower, cup of coffee and toast, I was ready to do some shopping at Walmart.  Denis went with me and we got the job done quickly.   We attended the 10:30 mass at St. Joseph's parish. and then drove about 190 miles to the RV repair shop where we'll spend the night.  We need to have the passenger side exhaust manifold replaced and have them look at the radiator which may have a leak. I think our motor home really took a beating during our Alaska tour.

St. Joseph's Parish
We noticed a pizza place close to the repair shop and getting pizza sounded a lot more appealing than cooking.

Vegetarian thin-crust Greek pizza is one of our favorites
That's all folks!  Thanks for stopping in.

    1. We had the driver's side manifold replaced a few years ago. I hope it goes quick but you never know. I'll keep you posted.

  2. I think Alaska is hard on everybody's rigs. Being on the road I have learned to sleep through so much noise. One of the side effects of RVing, I guess.

  3. Hi Friends. We met you in May in Arizona. Enjoy your blog so much. Looks like you have had a wonderful trip except for car trouble. We are heading to Oregon from Ca in our motorhome and would like to meet up with you. We will enter southern Oregon on Wed. or Thurs. Maybe we can set something up. Please leave a note!
