The ride to Redmond Oregon was pretty easy.

We left the Plymouth campground around 10:00.
We crossed the Columbia River and headed west on the Oregon side of the river.

As we drove along the south side of the river we saw a set of barges being pushed upstream by a tugboat.

 

When we got to US 97 we turned south

and followed it to Redmond.

We passed through rolling farmland

 

small towns

and by abandoned farms.

We got to Redmond around 2:00. and parked the RV on the street along side Samantha’s apartment. I ran an electrical cord from a receptacle in the apartment, through a window and across the lawn to Plan “B”.
I don’t know how long we will be able to stay here but we will stay until someone tells us to leave. We talked to a neighbor of Samantha’s who is a city cop and he said that “officially” we have to move the RV after 24 hours but he suggested that we just wait until some one tells us to move. He also said that we could move to the Lowes parking lot across the street if we needed to. So we do have options.

Today is Samantha’s 21st birthday. Later today we are going to have a small party in her honor.
