Stopped at Medford, Oregon for the night. It rained and heavy rain most of the time from the time we left Vancouver, BC at 4am until about an hour before Medford. 900 km of rain...lol

Google says 12 hours rest of the way so 14 ish with gas and break stops.

Road trips can be tough without the heavy rain. Well done for getting as far as you did. 🚗 🚗

I wasn't kidding. Nice-looking house but odd room sizes.

Be fair...there are no curtains right next to the lavvie.

I love that house, the decor....privacy in the bath, but not on the bog though.
