August 22, 2018 Mt Hood Village Welches OR

We got up about 7 and were on the road by 9 am.  Steve decided to dump at the state park 9 miles in the opposite direction that we were supposed to go. We were definitely full tho. God forbid we travel with that much more weight. However we both were able to use the bathroom before dumping.

Finally we were on our way to Welches. I think we were both apprehensive after out experience with LaConner.  We ended up after some discussion taking Hwy 30 all the way to Portland. Once in Portland we were on 30 by pass. Not sure what it bypassed but we took the narrow high traffic road to 205 to 30/84 and finally hwy 26 took us all the way to Mt Hood Village. Unfortunately there was no where to pull off for lunch or potty.  When we got to the park we had to wait forever to check in. So it was almost 3 PM when we were finally able to have lunch. Were got all set up bit by bit. It was almost 90 degrees out but we survived.

Once we got set up we relaxed.  We are staying in the new section so that we can get satelite easily.  There is a 376 parked right across the street. They are from San Diego. 

Some people from Georgia in a Reflection parked next to us but realized they didn't have cable after they were totally set up.  They dismantled everything  and moved. They were only going to be here for 2 days. They must really be addicted to TV.

I was able to take a shower in the rig and let the water run. It was heavenly. The majority of parks in Washington  have no sewer. We have been all over the country and only had the problem in Washington.
