and we made it to Vancouver, WA about 1300 today. Right now we're sitting in Paradise Point State Park north of Vancouver. A little far for runs into Vancouver; but, the price is right...........a freebie with water and electricity. Unfortunately no sewer hook ups so we always have to unhook and dump about the middle of our stay here. Can't complain too much as I said the price is right.
Got everything hooked up........my MTV and Becky's internet so now all we gotta do is figure out something for dinner. Kinda cool, at least for us, but the locals are running around in shorts and flimsy halter tops. Becky just plugged in the electric heater! At least there's no rain and there are no clouds in sight.
We spent last night near Roseburg at the Seven Feather's Casino in their parking lot. Bad mistake for a "free" parking spot. I shudda realized that it was going to be an expensive night the minute I pulled into the parking lot. I made a left turn to park and heard a loud "pop" just as I was stopping. Looked around a found a nut and washer laying on the ground. The bolt the nut was attached to sheared off and I found the remaining portion on my tow bar! The bolt holds the tow bar together and if it had happened while we were tooling down the road it coulda been nasty. Anyway, that was the start of our problems..............we had a nice late lunch/dinner and then the slot machines gave us a good spanking. Not believing that it could possibly happen again caused us to go back in for breakfast before we left. Wrong move........breakfast ended up costing a bit over $30.00.
Tow bar made by Roadmaster and they are located in Portland. Guess I'll drive over on Monday and see if parts are available for a repair and try to get a "freebie" from them. Probably won't work as the tow bar is probably 9 or 10 years old.
That's it for us. Later if something happens. W&B
