RV EAST DAY ZERO



Pretend that this is Sunday.  That is when we started out on our RV trip to avoid traffic and to get part way down the road towards Yellowstone and parts East.  Ever hear the saying "if you want to make God laugh, just tell Him your plans?"  Well, someone must have told him because we woke up on Sunday and Pamela had a little bit of an asthma attack so we went to the Oregon City emergency room so she could get a script and a nebulizer treatment to help with her breathing.  So we went to the ER and four hours later she had the treatment and script and all was well.  We had a lunch and thought that we could still drive East to Pendleton and be on our merry way.  Not to be.

Pamela Was Hooked Up to Something Like This on Sunday
On our way down the hill, we stopped at the Post Office to mail some letters, and Neil decided to check the tires one more time.  He had checked them the night before and one inside dual was a little low.  Well, it went from 70 psi the night before to 40 psi the next day--not good.  So--discretion being the better part of valor, we drove back up the hill to home and plugged it back in.  Neil's plan is to take it to Les Schwab Tire Center who installed new, metal, high-pressure tire valves and see if they could get it fixed.
One of These Custom Sprinter Van Valves Was Leaking
We spent the night at home, watched the Discovery Channel "North America" series, and slept in our own bed.  Thus ended Day Zero of our RV Trip.  Stay tuned.

This is a Great Series--Look for it on Your TV Provider
Thanks for visiting.
