Today was the start of our drive back south to Indio, California. We were up early and on the road by 8:00 AM. It was a beautiful cold morning in the 30 degree mark. Had ice on the windshield, so that slowed us up just a little.
As you can see the sun was out and very little traffic leaving the Tacoma area heading south on I-5.
Down by Chehalis on I-5 we got a good view of what is left of Mount St Helen's. We really didn't have much traffic tell we hit Chehalis area then it opened up after we went through some work areas. I had the cruse control on 58 and didn't have to slow down to much.
We took 205 around Portland so we didn't go through downtown on I-5, it may be a couple of miles farther but very little traffic today.
Plus we would of never seen this view of Mt Hood in the distances. It was a real clear dirve tell we got down by Salem and then the clouds start to role in.
As in Washington Oregon has had a lot of rain the last three weeks and a lot of there rivers are still at or over flood stage. This is the Umpqua River, I don't think I have ever seen it this high in all the years coming down to Coos Bay area.
Well tonight we are staying at the KOA in Hauser on 101. This is a real nice park and if you need a night or two to get of the road this park is great. I know the owner personally and they are great people. Tomorrow we are hoping to make it to Willis, California and stay in a Pass Port America camp ground. We will see how we do, we might stop sooner who knows. We got tell the 30th or 31st to be in Palm Springs.
