One consequence of such long travels is that your RV gets filthy. A couple of days ago we took it to a self wash, tall enough for us to get into (a challenge, all by itself), just to wash the windows. But when a
real wash is needed, there's only one trusted name known to RVers and truckers alike:
Blue Beacon. The closest, however, was in Portland. We cut across the state and waited in the looooong line (over an hour) for our bath. We had time, since the destination was Salem. Otherwise, we would not have bothered. Blue Beacons are few up here in the Pacific Northwest. Hence the line. And, yes, there is an app for that.
We have plans to meet Gini and Colleen around 3 at their place. The fastest way to get there would be I-5, but it also is the most boring and congested. So we take a number of small roads around Portland, passing farms and newly developed bedroom communities. The route is quite a mix.
Once we arrived we got a tour of their house, some wine, a fine steak dinner, and conversation until 9:30 in the evening. Tomorrow, boat day!
