I'm trying something different here, since I've already done the hard work of choosing images and writing text. I wish the text wasn't so fuzzy but for the sake of getting on with more important projects . . . here it is.
7 weeks living in the camper with 2 dogs.
Fri Mar 23, 2024, leaving from Spokane.
Week 1 - "vacation" on the Oregon coast, in winter, or I guess very early spring. I didn't luck out with mild weather, but we survived.
But first, a few posts from the 10 days prior to liftoff.
And we hit the road!
First night, Boardman, OR, parked in a friend's driveway.
Day 2 - The drive along the Columbia River was so windy I lost a piece of the camper - a plastic shroud underneath for protecting sensitive equipment.
Haha - it was insanely windy.
The first picture is a video of Tuc's head wings flapping before take off.
After the 3 weeks in Sonora, we spent a night on a street in Brentwood. Not just a random street - in front of a friend's house in a gated community.
Then across the bay to San Carlos to meet my new boss. Then north through San Francisco dodging potholes, across the Golden Gate and up to Sonoma County. It's been so long since I've been over that bridge that I forgot about the great scenic lookout until I was driving past in the wrong lane. I wish I had a picture of Goldie with The Golden Gate in the background. Maybe next time.
Back in Sonoma County for the first time in 9 years! I forgot about the allergies that go along with spring beauty!
I tried to put the awning out, but the wind came up as soon as I did. This week and one other, I was working from inside the camper. The other 3 working weeks I was allowed house privileges, although the dogs only had house privileges the first week. The other 2 they were just outside the front door of the house and I was close enough to sniff just through the door, with weather good enough to keep the screen door open between us.
I had indoor showering privileges at each friend's home, and electric hookup, creature comforts that I enjoy.
Not actually as anxious to get home as one might think, I stayed 2 nights in Bend. I had left myself the possibility of getting home a day early, but although a little bored, what was waiting at home was a big unpacking job. So I lingered longer.
