Our trip was more of a reset for my wife and I. We rented a van who's owner allowed dogs, so we also brought our 85lb black lab as well. A Ram 2500 fully loaded conversion van, with a 2 burner stove, working sink, small fridge, shower, porto-pot, and wi-fi was our vehicle for eight days.
We started in San Jose CA and drove north on the 5 to Seattle. It being in the middle of winter we encountered rain and fog. Fortunately for us, we did not have any snow on the road. Although the van owner provided me with chains, I purchased a set of much higher quality, just in case. Once we were driving in the Siskiyou mountains, it was immediately evident that the vehicle needed new wipers. I have no idea how I got us to Yreka, but we stopped and traded the old crusty wipper blades out for new Rain-X. Immediate difference. We made Eugene OR, the next day after staying the night in some po-dunk truck stop town to quell the nerves my wife was enduring. From Eugene, we headed to Vashon Island WA where we stayed a couple of days with some old friends. We took the 9'+ tall van on the ferry and low and behold, were able to enjoy a short trip across the beautiful Sound. My pics depict one of 125 Trolls built by Thomas Dambo. This is Oscar the Bird King btw. https://www.nwtrolls.org/#trolls
He has built these sculptures in more that 5 different countries, 6 being in the great Pacific NW.
From Vashon we traveled south to Centralia WA, and from there Astoria, Grants Pass, and then home. I gave the trip a 4 star, only because of the safety hazard of the wipers. In all we had a wonderfully cold experience camping in an Outdoorsy rental van. Thank you Outdoorsy, and we are already thinking about the planning of our next adventure.
