Day 8 - Nov 14

This is the half way point of my 2 week trip and I am holed up in a motel on hwy 5.  Had planned to drive to Portland yesterday afternoon but hwy 5 was a slow crawl out of Seattle due to an accident and it was getting dark near 5 p.m.so I gave it up. I had planned to get a motel once a week to wash my hair and watch some tv. Have been showering daily in the rv park facilities. Don't want to be the smelly old lady in line at the museum. Watching the news last night on tv and on my weather app on my phone tells me I shouldn't get back on the road until 10 a.m. because of icy wet roads. I have chains and I would think hwy 5 is no problem just because of all the traffic. But I will go slowly toward Becca's in Tigard, Ore..... I had a reservation for an rv park near Tigard last night but missed the cutoff time to cancel it so will lose my $30. 

Lesson learned:
This time of year you don't need a reservation at any rv park. None have been more than 1/2 full.
