We are sorry to be leaving Aimee’s cousin’s home. Todd and Bonnie and their son Noah have been feeding us very well and they have good taste in wine. It would have been no problem to stay longer. We could have easily hidden amongst their four horses, five goats, four dogs, three cats, and 44,000 Christmas trees. We don’t eat that much.
Since we arrived in the Portland, OR area, we have been having problems with the RV refrigerator. It is an ammonia absorption system that can operate either on electricity or propane. The RV needs to be level for it to work efficiently. Thinking the RV was not in balance, I moved the RV around to try and compensate. Today it is clear it is busted so we take the RV into a repair shop. This is the first major problem we have had. There we learn the fridge was under a recall for a defective heating unit. Unfortunately the repair shop can’t get a replacement for almost three weeks. We are going to have to make arrangements to have it repaired further down the road at a future destination. In the meantime we are going to have to do some real camping. On the way out of town we stop at Wal-Mart to pick up a couple coolers to store essential food items. It looks like we are going to be eating a lot more canned food for the foreseeable future. Wonderful!

We spend the night on the Oregon coast just outside the town of Seaside.
