May 20 Canyonville to Kelso, Washington

It was hard to leave 7 Feathers this morning , the sun was shining and it was getting warm. Got underway by 9:30.
We stopped at a Safeway in Roseburg to pick up some more wine, there's a sale on, 30% off a bottle plus another 10% if you buy six.Considering that a bottle that sells for $15 in Canada is about $6 here, before the sale, it's hard to pass up.

We had an easy drive to just south of Eugene where we stopped at a rest stop and made some sandwiches for lunch.
 Mickey is a little under the weather, not himself and he has diarrhea. We gave him part of a Pepto-Bismal tablet, which is okay for dogs, so we hope he feels better soon.

We continued on to an outlet mall just south of Portland to get a few things.
I was going to stop at Camping World, an RV store, but I wanted to get through Portland before rush hour so we passed on it.
We hit Portland around 3pm and the traffic was building. It took about 45 minutes of stop and go crawl to get the few miles through the city. It is such a maze of bridges and overpasses , I always dread it when pulling the trailer.

Once through,with no collisions, it was a 40 minute drive to our stop for the night, Brook Hollow Rv park in Kelso, Washington. $34 including tax with Good Sam discount. We've stayed here before , it's a nice clean park, a convenient distance between Portland and Bellingham, which will be our next stop, about 3 and 1/2 hours up the road.
We arrived about 4:30, got set up without unhooking the truck, and made dinner.
Mickey seems to doing better. His appetite is back and he wants to chase things so I guess he will be okay. He may just have been upset about having to stay in the trailer alone yesterday while we went to the casino. He gets really stressed when left alone in the trailer. He's fine if he is in the truck but it gets too warm to leave him there.

The End of the World is all in the news here, some fanatic has predicted it for May 21, 2011
I should have maxed out the credit card!
We hope our reservations on the Sunday ferry are still good after hearing about the End of the World coming tomorrow!
