It got a bit cooler at night
getting down into the mid to high 50’s F.
But it warmed nicely during the day. In the morning, we discover a
couple of trucks & another RV had parked sometime during the night--we
never heard anything. We got up, had breakfast etc & were away by 9:30 at
53068 miles. We got to the summit of the Siskiyou’s at 12:55 just after we
crossed the CA/OR state line at 12:50 PM.
We were going to stop at a rest area at the base of the mountain but it
was closed for construction so we motored on. We stopped at a pilot gas stop
1:35 to 2:00, I put in 44.028 USG at $3.049 a gallon. I have discovered that on my dashboard,
instead of having a trip mile counter I can have it say mileage to empty, a
much more useful number. We pulled out of the gas station at 2 PM after gassing
up & buying some Subway & Taco Bell lunch goodies. We immediately pulled into a parking lot
across the hwy from the gas station for our lunch stop, 2:00 to 2:35. Then off down the hwy to Seven Feathers where
we are dry camped beside the casino at 3:50 @ 53360 miles. We
checked & they have their $9.99 buffet special on Mon. to Thurs. and
tonight they have pork ribs, & beef ribs in addition to the normal buffet
stuff and that it is all inclusive--nothing extra for drinks or desserts. There
was a line up so one of the staff gave us a beeper disk so we could sit in the lounge next door & listen to
the entertainer while we waited for a table.
After stuffing ourselves with the buffet we returned to the lounge about
10 to 15 minutes before the next show.
It was a country singer so we didn’t know many of the tunes but she was
good and had a good back up group – guitar, drums, & bass. We stayed to the end at 10, then Sheila went
to contribute money to the casino, (i.e. play video poker) while I came home. She arrived about a half hour later having
lost most of the money she won on the trip south in January.
