Rain off & on during the night but it had stopped by morning. We pulled out @ 9:45 @ 147193. Our first gas stop was at a Pilot stn @ 147330, 11:25 to 11:45 near Salem Oregon. I put in 43.5 USG so I had 11.5 USG left in the 55 USG tank, about 80 miles worth. As the tank was full when I left storage that means I went about 580 km or 360 miles before filling so a full tank is good for about 450 miles or 725 km until we splutter to a stop. A few miles further down the road we went off I 5 at Albany @ 12:20 for lunch & grocery shopping. Lunch was at a Del Taco then off & away @ 1:55 & back on I 5 by 2PM. We pulled into 7 Feathers RV Park @ 4:15 @ 147597. Because it was sunny, Sheila immediately went for a walk north along the creek down to the truck stop. When she returned, we both went for a swim & hot tub before dinner. While swimming, Sheila noticed that her silver ring was quite loose, so, while standing in the water, she took it off to give to me and accidently flipped it up into the air. Thinking it’d dropped into the water, she spent almost 10 min. looking for it. She’d almost given up when she dove underwater, turned sideways at the bottom of the pool so she could see the vent there, and it dropped off her head onto the bottom of the pool. Amazing, eh! After dinner, I did the journal etc., while Sheila took the Shuttle to the casino to check out the entertainment there and do a bit of gambling. She returned about 11 pm, said she’d enjoyed listening to John Conlee in the special event hall and ? Burke in the lounge but the gambling hadn’t gone too well—she lost about $35.
Weather today: We had rain off & on all day, sometimes quite heavy. The rain here held off until around 8 pm, then started again. Forecast is for cold & snow showers which could create a problem for the Siskiyou Pass tomorrow.
