Tuesday October 2 AA We are up before 7am this morning....Truck packed and having breakfast at 7:30.....On the road by 8am....Take us about half an hour to get though the rush hour traffic....A nice local shows us to the 508......Its hot again this morning but we will be going to cooler temperatures soon....Rick starts out driving then earl takes the wheel after we gas up...... We stop in a rest area for a quick stretch then off we go again......We have lunch in a McDonalds in Weed California ......The McDonalds looks good a fireplace and comfy couch and i great play area its inside but the slide goes outside into a big area cool....All the t-shirts in the store say Enjoy Weed lol Lunch is good but getting an ice cream cone after proves to be a chore...the young man runs out of ice cream and has to open a new one but he cant get the plastic open...he gets it mopen and cant seem to make the cones so on the fourth one he gets it, some customers seem to be short drinks so the manager starts yelling at the crew lol Well its back to the truck we are half way to Portland which is our destination tonight.... Cheryl isnt feeling any better today and we sleep on and off most of the morning pretty boring ride and its the way the way home now....Couple of more rest stops and Rick drives another four hours then its earls turn......Its getting to be 6 o clock so we decide to stop in Salem Oregon about 50 miles short of the original destination..... We find a Residence Inn Marriot its a nice place we are sharing a two bedroom suite, with livingroom, eating area and kitchen....Its happy hour when we arrive and they have free beer and wine till 7:30...they have soups and salad for dinner too.... The pool is open 24/7 with hot tub......We load our goods upstairs to the room and decide to go to Applebees for dinner.....We have a nice dinner and stop at the local pharmacy for some cold medicines and head back to our hotel...Night caps and beddy byes......till tomorrow.....
