Hey friends!
I should hear tomorrow more about the status of my home sale. There have been a lot of bumps in the road and I can't wait until the deal is done. Worse case scenario is that the deal falls through and my plans will be delayed. How long? I'm not sure but December is not a stretch for my departure.
That would... well you can imagine. I do not want to be driving south from Oregon to Arizona in December. I don't want to be doing the trip in November but I have no choice. I've mapped out a route that will avoid high mountain passes. My thinking is that I will be pulling a trailer for the first time in a truck that I will have just bought. No time for practice runs. i just have to get on the road and head south as fast as I can.
I'm going to drive east from Portland to The Dalles in the Columbia Gorge, then head south. That puts me on the east side of the Cascade mountains. From there I'll hit Bend, La Pine and Lakeview OR. Shortly after that I'll cross into California, hitting Susanville and heading to Reno. From there I'll work my way to Pahrump and then Quartzsite. I think it will take 4 or 5 days. It all depends on the weather.
The two big passes I will avoid are (1) out of Ashland OR into CA and (2) Donner Pass in CA going into Reno. They might be fine but I don't want the stress. I don't mind avoiding interstate highways either.
If you have an opinion or suggestions, I'm all ears. Please comment.
Talk tomorrow.

ReplyDeleteYou should chat with my better half Chookie, he's been living in a converted school bus for years when away from home, he might have some awesome tips.
One of them (mine is) wet a cook pot thingy, cant remember what it called I'll ask him, its fantastic as you throw your food in, boiling water in the bottom and so many hours later you got a delicious stew, soup etc.
xoxox
love you
Who is this? There is no name. Hey Thanks though. I am planning on buying a Instant Pot. Is that what you are talking about?
