Back in Washington in our home.
We are, of course, South Dakota residents, and my office is still in Colorado, but seeing that home is where your rump rests, home is, once again, Washington.
As an aside, either the climb up from the Columbia was astoundingly steep, or that last fill-up of bulk, unwashed hippie tears–uh, I mean diesel in Oregon had some sort of power-robbing properties in it. UPGRAYEDD did not like the drive up that ridge at all.
Decided to stop in Burley, ID overnight and make an early appointment at the tire center.
$350 later, UPGRAYEDD has a new pair of back shoes and rides nicer and safer.
Beginning the trip toward the northwest–but those drive tires on the truck are looking a bit worn.
And they say we carry a lot in our RV.
There’s still stuff in storage, but we got most of the short term stuff out. Even had wheels rolling 15 min ahead of schedule.
On the way south, traffic was snarled badly by a Prius with Ohio plates doing 60 in a 75. We cruise at 61 or so. We passed him, but with a bit of extra diesel smoke.
A bit later, we stopped to pick up a few necessities at Camping World then hit the road again.
About 30 miles ahead, on a different Interstate, there’s another traffic snarl.
A Prius.
Doing 60 in a 75.
With Ohio plates.
Same. Driver.
