A quick load job and stock the fridge and we were ready to go. I had been called in early Friday morning to work, so with some luck, I could be out of there at around 1:30 pm. We got home, hooked up and were off for a new adventure. Lori had been left out and had not had a weekend to ourselves for some time. We were looking forward to just hanging out. We loaded the address into the gps and were there in no time. Hooked up the cable and settled in for a good movie on HBO...ahhh the life! It is a beautiful and well maintained park. Easy to see why it is rated top 100.
Things went smoothly and Saturday, Lori shopped and shopped and shopped. I finally got to Camping world and Lori shopped some more. When we returned to the trailer, it seemed cold inside and there was alight odor of propane inside. I went to the furnace and saw the thermostat was set right, but no heat. After some checking, I found we had run out of propane. Lori, the 'camper' was upset we had no stove now and had to use the coffee maker instead of perking some coffee. What a rough life. The electric still warmed the water for a nice shower and the cinnamon rolls she baked the day before served well with that coffee.
Sunday morning, we awoke to high winds. It was blowing 30 to 40 mph out of the east. No problem except crossing the Columbia River bridge in Portland. It was a white knuckle run as we crossed the river. Never experienced the winds with our fifth wheel and the bucking was disturbing. I had emptied all tanks to prepare to winterize, so we were a little light. As soon as we got to the WA side and as the winds decreased, so did the blood pressure. It was a nice trip despite the whining from a wife with no propane. It was so cruel...she almost had to dry camp again! I promised as soon as we got home, the tanks would be filled and we would be ready to go.
