Peterson's Haulers, Day Two

It was 100 degrees when we got to Medford last night.  Phew!  It was nice this morning, but heading for another hot day.  It is 90 degrees in Salem as I write this.  I was hoping we were getting away from the heat.  Maybe it will be cooler
in  Edmonds at Mom's?

So far the only difficulty has been at lunchtime yesterday when the generator decided to quit working--made for a pretty warm lunch inside the RV.  But it decided to start working again when we stopped for the night and today is working just fine.  And the broken freezer door latch didn't like bumpy roads, so I kept having to get up and reload the fish in the freezer that we are taking to Mom.  I should have taken a photo, but didn't think of it. Duh.  I did make a list with freezer door latch repair at the top.

It was fun to see a hay truck as we drove along today--brings back memories of those big trucks delivering a load of hay to our little barn as I was growing up.

Outside of Eugene Gary noticed there was no traffic heading south.  Then we saw why--a terrible accident had happened and was still being cleared.  As we headed north, the line of stopped traffic was over 6 miles long. People were standing outside their cars and trucks,walking dogs, chatting.  I'm sure the line got even longer because the cars were still blocking the road as we drove past.  We were thankful our side of the freeway was still moving and said a prayer for those in the accident.  It looked pretty bad.

Now Gary is enjoying the hot tub at this beautiful RV park--Hee Hee Ilahee--I love the name!  The dogs and I are heading out for our second walk since we got here.  They know this RV park and definitely enjoy walking the perimeter and smelling all the good sniffability.
