Day 21

Finally made it to Oregon!

Eastern Oregon was just as dry and arid as we expected. I was surprised at how often throughout this trip we came across the Snake River. As dumb as it sounds it snaked its way along our path even through the desert areas. We finally saw its end when it met up with the Columbia River and we drove through the Gorge. Hitting Portland at 5 on a weekday was sub optimal so we stopped for dinner on the outskirts and headed on in for the home stretch.

I guess we never mentioned the snafu dealing with our destination. Our reservation for 30 days was entered into the one of the two systems they were using as just 3 days (even though our email confirmation said 30). The employee who messed this up was fired for a variety of mess-ups including ours. The owner was distraught and had no clue what to do about not having a spot for us with pretty much every site in the state booked up. Side note, if you want to RV in Oregon in the summer (maybe ever) you need to book way far out. Long story short, the owner called some of the long timers who had spots but were elsewhere on vacation and got us three spaces we could use throughout the say at no cost to us.

After 4931 miles and 128.5 hours of car time we are glad to be settling down… It has been an amazing trip and we are ready to start the next chapter of our lives.
