I-90 off into the distance:

A rest stop (not initially planned, but needed due to battling wind while driving):

Onward on I-90:

One of several narrow bridges due to roadworks:

Coal power plant:

A stop for diesel at the Sinclair Coffee Cup Fuel Stop:

Our coach parked with trucks; we ran the generator so the ACs could be on, it being rather hot:

We went inside to grab some lunch:

We got some sandwiches, chips, and icees, which we took back to our coach to eat:

Apparently Wyoming gets bids from farmers to mow the verges of highways; a great resource for them, and great for the state:

Interesting rocks:

Approaching Devils Tower:

Our destination the KOA right outside the entrance of the monument:

We drove our coach 179 miles, about 3 hours of scenic driving, from Cody, Wyoming to Buffalo, Wyoming.

But before we could leave, I had to ask the driver of this truck to move, as they where blocking the exit (sure, just park across the road and no-parking markings; your convenience is more important than anyone else):

Underway, with a flat and curvy highway:

Pump jack:

We stopped for lunch in the Washakie County Visitor’s Council parking lot, since it has some RV spots just barely big enough for us (and was pretty much empty, being closed). They have a mammoth sculpture out front:

Fun hills:

The cute town of Ten Sleep:

Heading through the Bighorn mountains:

Paladin chilling on the floor between us:

Snow fences:

Roadworks:

One of several 8% downgrades:

Mandatory brake check turnout for trucks, RVs, and vehicles with trailers; Jenn hardly touched the brakes, though; she’s great at using gears and engine braking on downhills:

More curves and slopes:

The runaway truck ramp was closed for repairs or updates:

Our coach just before pulling into our site:

We drove our coach 242 miles, about four hours of driving, from La Grande, Oregon to Glenns Ferry, Idaho.

Snuggling with Paladin:

A video from our internal security cam while our coach was driving down the road; it’s a rolling earthquake, but much more stable than a trailer. If you look closely, you may notice Paladin asleep on the stacked dining chairs in the lower-right corner:

River:

I-84:

“Oregon Thanks You, Come Back Soon”; yep, we’ll be back every year, as we tour around the country and return to Washington each year for health checkups etc:

“Welcome to Idaho”:

Preparing to toad up in the maintenance area:

Mount Hood:

Our tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) reported a high temperature on the front passenger-side tire, which was concerning, but resolved itself (they normally run at less than 99°F):

Columbia River:

A stop at a rest area:

Paladin was enjoying sitting on the stacked dining chairs:

Interesting overpass:

Another rest area; we were amused by the motorhome towing a jet-ski:

We ran the generator so we could use the ACs, but got a wiring status error; when I looked at the generator later, I noticed that the breaker was off; no doubt from when we got it serviced recently; I’m glad it wasn’t an actual fault:

Solar farm:

A viewpoint stop:

A sharp corner onto a dirt road towards our destination:

Our destination:

We drove our coach 180+ miles, about three hours of driving, from our home base in Shelton, Washington to Buxton, Oregon.

Here’s the map route, heading south (exact origin omitted for privacy):

Interactive map, with potential stops:

We were “moochdocking” at our home base, with 15 amp electric, water, and no sewer. We had showers and most bathroom usage in the house, while sleeping in our coach. But our grey and black tanks still reached about half full over the two weeks we were there. We dumped them at our destination:

Paladin on passenger chair prior to departure; he would probably have preferred to stay there, but sorry, I need that chair:

When you come to a fork in the road, take it:

US-101 South:

Heading to I-5 South:

A motorhome towing a boat; we wondered if they had another vehicle to put the boat in the water, or had just bought it and were transporting it somewhere, or something:

We stopped at a Love’s for fuel, with an extra long truck and trailers going out the entrance:

80 gallons of diesel; our first fuel stop since Eugene:

Bridge:

Paladin wasn’t having a good time; sometimes he forgets about travel days:

I-5 and Columbia River:

Another bridge:

Nice day for a Classic Beetle convertible:

A pickup with oversized tires crossed the median barrier and got stuck, causing miles of slow traffic in both directions:

Rough concrete roads almost worthy of California in southern Washington:

Paladin hadn’t been using the steps, so I closed the step cover, and re-introduced him to his safe space next to the passenger chair; he was happier there:

Arriving at our destination, Stub Stewart State Park:

I followed our coach to our site:

I parked the truck by the bathroom, and took the path to our site:
