LOADING UP FOR RETURN TRIP HOME

March 28 & 29, 2008

Pretty much winding everything up for our return trip home. We pre loaded a most of things we had stored under the RV and Helen is putting up a lot of the knickknacks and things setting out in the motor home. We’re really not taking a lot of extra stuff home this time since we plan on being back up to Charleston later this summer... Since Helen's cousin has a fairly large storage barn we will leave most of our ocean fishing stuff here, such as crab traps surf poles etc. When we come back this summer we will bring back the boat and truck. Even though the truck does not get that good of gas mileage it’s more logical to have the truck to haul fishing equipment around.

Gasoline prices are still up there, around to $3.42 per gallon in Coquille, still cheaper than the gas in Susanville. I figured it would take us about 45 gallons of gas to get our motor home back to Susanville. Checking on gasoline prices it looks like our best bet would be to get our gasoline before we get back into California. Some of the current prices as of the 29th are as follows: Winston OR at a Texaco station at $3.38 per gallon, Klamath Falls OR $3.60 per gallon, Medford OR $3.48, Ashland OR $3.45 and Yreka CA at $3.77 per gallon. Will figure on Ashland OR as a stop to fill up, which should take care of the gas until we get home.

We have one stop planned on our way home to a Home Depot in Roseburg. They have the Wagner paint sprayer on sale there with a $50.00 rebate as well as there is no sales tax, which will save us and additional $15.00. Since this is just a few miles out of our way I figured this would be the time to buy it.
