Bits and Pieces

We ran across many unusual and interesting things and thought we would share some of them with you.

States like North and South Dakota allow farmers to bale the grass along the interstate and use it for their cattle.

In Oregon, there is not self-serve gas.  You stay in your car and wait for an attendant to pump your gas.

In California, gas prices were sky high, we saw $4.89 for regular unleaded.

In Washington, we had to pay for bags at the grocery store and they only had paper sacks.

The speed limit on the interstate in several western states is 80 mph.

We accidentally drove with the RV through the town of Napa on a Saturday afternoon during wine harvest season.  The road was stop and go traffic for several miles.  Not fun but we made it.

Speaking of harvesting, we drove through North Dakota during wheat harvest, Washington during apple harvest and California during almond and pistachio harvest.  We also saw many crops growing and getting ready for harvest, including sugar beets, hops, cannabis, and, of course, corn.


We stayed in a RV park in Oregon that used to be a drive in movie theater.  They still show movies on the weekend for the campers.

We also stayed in a RV park in Montana that used to be a stagecoach stop.
