Day 29 – Portland to Corning, CA
We had
a 500 mile drive ahead of us today so we were up early. We decided to have a full breakfast at the
hotel breakfast buffet and skip lunch since we had such a long drive. We
were on the road by 8:30 and the day passed quickly as we were listening to a
very interesting audio book. There isn’t
much to say about the drive as it was just I-5 all day. We made good time and arrived in Corning
about 4:00; not too bad. We
stayed at The Lodge at Rolling Hills, which is a nice, reasonably priced hotel,
which just happens to have a very nice casino, surprise, surprise! We checked in, and then headed
for the casino for a little entertainment for our last night on the road. We had fun, and got to play for quite a
while, but I was just about to lose all of my gambling allowance for the day
when I hit a $400 jackpot and went back to the room happy. Val didn’t have quite as much luck, but she
did have a good time. Time to call it a
day; tomorrow is our last day of the trip.
Day 30 – Corning to Home
Not much
to say about today, it was us and the trucks traveling down I-5 together. As part of the cost of our room we got breakfast at the casino buffet so we once again decided to eat a large
breakfast and skip lunch.
The day again passed quickly as we listened to the end of our audio book
and we were home by 4:30. It was great
to be home as we were both pretty road weary after being gone for a month, but
it was also sad to reach the end of another wonderful trip.
I've enjoyed the ride. I feel like I was in the back seat looking out the window the whole way. Except for a gas cap, the Toyota served you well. I'm sure it feels good to be home again.
