July 22, 2013---John Day Dam, Rufus to Sherwood, Oregon


As we drove west on I-84, we began to see more vegetation.  And where there was a patch of ground flat enough it was being farmed.  

The view of Mt. Hood was awesome.  I had forgotten how majestic it is.

After going through The Dallas, we encountered terrible headwinds.  Hood River, which is a wind surfing mecca, had no one out on the river.  It was blowing so hard it blew Bill’s outside mirror completely out of whack.

We stopped at old  Flying J for fuel for the MH and at Walmart for “fuel” for us.  From there we went across Portland to Sherwood and the Elks Lodge.  We have parked there several times before.  Today all of their RV spots were full, so we set up in the parking lot.  Tomorrow we will move to a regular dry camping spot and in a few days, when someone leaves, we will get a regular place with an electrical hookup.

The remainder of the day we just rested.  Both of us were more tired than usual.  It was cooler today than where we have been for the past few weeks.

Today’s Travel Totals:  Mileage, 128
