GMC Motor Home, Travel with Teri and Dan

Looking Out My Front Door

Look at what we see when we open our door. Is not this a great look? To the left is a blimp hanger, according to Teri. There is a museum there that we will visit and maybe get some pictures. We have been so blessed along our route. Great friends and great scenery. We left Lincoln City about 830 am Pacific time. Had to get some lp and I wanted to top off the gas tank as gas is high up here. We have been out ten weeks and this is our first time for lp. We should make the rest of trip home with this tank. We run refer and Teri cooks with it. That is all and the refer does not consume much at all. Well, Sam loves it here. She has grass to lie in. She and me too were getting tired of blacktop and sand. I was ready to leave that casino. But, can't complain, except for the guy that ran a 10 horse Briggs and Stratton generator every evening. One lady complained but the gaurd said as long as it went off by 11 pm it was ok. We did not let it bother us. There were plenty of others to bother without us. We never ran the generator, 6 days. Solar is the way to go if you want to camp without hookups. We even had two mostly cloudy days and we still had enough electricity. It is very cloudy here now. I guess you can tell from the picture I just took and put up. If Teri wants hot shower here I will run the generator for her. No one will complain here and our's is pretty quiet for a 6,000 Onan. If I had any clue that we would have dry camped this much I would have brought the little portable 1 kw Kipor I have. Can't hear it 50 feet away. The big thing is it will run 8 plus hours on a tank of gas and run everything we have but the ac, which we don't need anyway. Next trip. We are learning what to bring and what not to bring. That generator will find a permanent home so Teri can have warm shower every morning. I can run water heater with my 2,000 watt inverter but it will kill my batteries, need more. The ice maker is hard on the batteries also. I plan to add two more 6 volt deep cycles and maybe one more solar panel. Will see.
This is a small airport. We got J3 Cubs flying here. I will get out and get some photos later. This is a neat place. A well kept secret. I found it on the internet. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I will miss a bunch of the race Sunday as we are 3 hours behind Indy and it starts at 1 Eastern. That is 10 am here. Maybe I can catch the replay. Thanks for stopping by. Dan
