The campground was actually OK for a Motel/RV Park combination. We had leftover spegetti and TV before bed. Hope today's weather cooperates regarding snow. That is a possibility today. The weather station also reported an earthquake at 9.0 in this area. After staring hard at each other, the TV continued that the announcement was a "test run". We don't know exactly where we are going today as there are only a few campgrounds listed along this route, with only a few sites and they don't take reservations! A few of our neighbors are also heading in the same direction and they pulled out before us. Guess they might get a spot ahead of us. We're shooting for Rufus, Oregon. 286 miles. We stopped for gas at Chemult, OR in light snow flurries. It's against the law in Oregon to pump your own gas?? All is going well with light snow and rain on & off. We did run into our neighbors at a rest stop this afternoon. We both honked hello. We will have traveled Oregon from bottom to top. Our route (97) is mostly farm and forest and some mountains. We passed the shoe tree (literally) a few miles ago. It was a large, dead tree with 100 minimum tennis shoes tied to the branches. Is that some Indian folklore? A white ring necked pheasant just crossed in front of us (Pretty). Arrived safely just across the Washington State line and the Columbia River. The campground is Maryhill State Park at 50 Hwy 97 in Goldendale, WA. 360-902-8844. (rates 3+) We had some confusion as there was another campground name on a sign right at the entrance to the park we wanted, but after Norm's blood pressure (and mine) went down, we set up in a nice site next to the river. Big trees, green grass, seagulls and only $26.00 per night. This is our first stay in a State Park. Other than no reservation policy, it might be a nice option. It is very pretty.
