Well this wasn't our destination for today, we actually were going to stop in Eugene or Salem. But you know when you get closer to your final destination, it makes you push on a little harder. By this time we were getting road weary and ready to get to Samish and stay put for a spell.We started out at 43 degrees and ended up the day at 70 degrees. It was beautiful.
The white line on the road can get pretty monotonous. However the scenery was becoming more beautiful. The wildflowers consisted of purple lupine, california poppy, japanese iris in yellow and purple and queen anne's lace. The trees were getting taller. Huge Douglas Fir, cedar, alder, dogwoodand some azaleas and rhododendrons.
The rivers were becoming clearer and as we wound around the mountains there were rushing streams. Lots of ups and downs at the beginning of this day. We climbed to different summits only to come down (6% ) grades and then climb again. This happened all the way to Roseburg. We arrived about 3:30 pm at the Portland RV Park. What a lovely spot. All paved roads and sites. Free cable and wifi.

Lots of rhododendrons in bloom or ready to bloom. The nature trail takes you right down by the river.
This was our site. Mostly pull throughs and long enough you can stay hooked up. We managed to stay hooked up for the whole trip.
I love these exit signs with the gentle reminders. People have forgotten these, even their spouses.
The diesel god wasn't smiling today. $3.26/gal.
