We drove our coach 140 miles, about 3 hours of driving, from Dayville, Oregon to Bend, Oregon.

The map route, heading southwest:

When departing we toaded up (i.e. hooked up our truck to our coach) on a road outside the park:

We had an issue where the airbag suspension wasn’t reaching travel height; in the end we decided to start forward anyway, and suddenly it reached the right level. My theory was that since we were heading downhill, there was too much weight on the front, until we leveled out. An important lesson to always get to travel height before moving (which we almost always do; this was an unusual situation).
