Travels With Mabel
MrsIamNotinLebamdawg and I made a decision to get rid of our fancy bad ass truck and get a more stabilizing vehicle -
We exchanged the Badass Black Beast and got an F-350 dually. Jesus those things are big and wide. We had been looking for almost 3 weeks and were driving towards Mt. Vernon when my bro-in-law saw a dually right by where we are staying in Anacortes. The truck is a 2020 with only 105 miles on it - came via a going out of business sale in BC. Guy up there wholesaled his entire lot of Fords due to poor sales because of covid.
This place has spoiled me as we have had full hook up service at 30 amps for $10 a night. First place I am headed to will be $52 a night.

I gotta comment on the Weasel logo on the plates.

You could have easily stolen a dozen of those from one of the nearby refinery parking lots!
On second look, no, not lifted enough. -

Those plates were originally the old Huskies dawg plates and when neweasel took over they changed the plates. My wife won't let me change them but in October or November I will register the truck in Texas. Bye Bye Weasel.
The color of the truck is fleet truck white* - today the mrs. said there are metallic flecks in the paint. She hates white trucks this is my 3rd one.
*White Platinum Pearl - who comes up with these descriptions -

Place has gone to hell since you left.

Prepping to leave the great screwed up state of Washington tomorrow and heading into lands unknown - first stop Redmond, Oregon. At the same time I am making reservations in Idaho for a week or so then heading through Utah to the north rim of the Grand Canyon.
Utah might have some interesting camp sites I hope around some of those lakes west of Brigham City
I need to check out campgrounds on the lake I think -

The longest year of my life was the morning last October that I spent in the Redmond, Oregon airport.

After Redmond I am heading to Burns - there are places worse than Redmond

You just don't appreciate the ease and convenience of the small regional airport.DerekJohnson said:The longest year of my life was the morning last October that I spent in the Redmond, Oregon airport.

It actually wasn't all that bad, but my flight from Reno to Seattle reached Sea-Tac, where we circled for 20 minutes before flying down to Redmond, Oregon to land and switch planes. I had to sit there for about four hours. So my flight which left Reno at 6am., ended up with me landing at Sea-Tac around 3pm.YellowSnow said:

Was it fog at SeaTac? Had a similar thing happen when San Diego was too fogged in.DerekJohnson said:

damn - I hope I don't have to circle any RV parks waiting for the fog to lift

Life in Redmond Oregon is a new adventure - not sure why Yella picked this place to set down roots - although Bend is a little further south. Windy as shit but sunny after torrential rains in Chehalis. Left one screwed up state and in another - 8 days till Eye Da Ho.
Fall seems to have hit in a rather spectacular fashion. Was really pretty coming off Mt. Hood once we cleared the mist - what a crappy drive weather wise till hitting Warm Springs area. -
nice thing about utah camping is if its public land its open to camp on.LebamDawg said:Prepping to leave the great screwed up state of Washington tomorrow and heading into lands unknown - first stop Redmond, Oregon.

I live among the Ponderosa Pines. Bachelor is 25 min from my driveway. Mt Bike single track 1 mile away. -
Pretty country down south of Bend - my daughter has a hunk of land 20 minutes from Bachelor they are planning on developing soon. Down off Century a little past the Lava stuff (closed when I went by) was down there the other day. I am trying to talk her into getting a game camera so she knows what's going on in her piece of heaven.YellowSnow said:

I was doing the same drive a few weeks ago. I hadn't driven in fog in years and everyone wanted to go 75 MPH.LebamDawg said:Life in Redmond Oregon is a new adventure - not sure why Yella picked this place to set down roots - although Bend is a little further south.

Yep - but past Sunriver - went quite a ways past the circle that cut off to go into Sunriver. Tamarack? or something like that,YellowSnow said:
