I'd planned to take two days to drive to Walla Walla but I needed to have a little work done on my Honda so drove it in one day. There are many places that I'd have liked to pull off to check out the view but when the sign says "No trucks" I get nervous. I'm always on the lookout for ways to get out and/or turn around. My motor home & car are very long so I just kept on driving. The river was very picturesque & the highway was in great shape. I'd called ahead & lined up an expensive place to park but since I wanted to be in town, I had little choice. As I arrived my Low fuel light came on, a first for me. I dropped the car at the RV park & found a Safeway to fill up my tank. I put in about 80 gallons of fuel. That is the first time I've filled it up since I purchased it in March. My theory is that I hate to carry around so much extra weight but I was getting tired of looking for cheap fuel with a station I could get into & out of again. I also carry very little water for the same reason. My brother is the opposite as he always felt best when he had a full tank of fuel & water. He likes to camp out in the woods for several days at a time. My travel style is to go from a small town to another small town & try to find a reasonable RV park with water & power. Internet is nice but is usually so slow as to be near useless. My current park offers Wifi but I'm down at the local Starbucks with slightly faster Wifi.
As I left the park on Tuesday morning, I noticed this sign:
I found two things humorous. First, there is camping about 100' away. Second, no smoking. Apparently, that only applies to tobacco as I noticed a very STRONG order of marijuana coming from the camp host's RV. It's a new world.
