I love road trips and that looks like a pretty sweet rig. Partner and I have talked about it for the last couple years. Once we get some other business settled we hope to hit the road in a similar type of setup.
Drawback of off the beaten path: No cell reception.
My brother has Starlink mini. Will compare/wait for Amazon Leo (?)
Dogs are STILL sleeping. The pinnacle of achievement has been attained!

Tillamook Cheese Factory has some really good smoked salmon. I discovered that just three years ago. Very firm, but the others there you can feel the mushiness in the package. We stopped there July 3rd and I got 4 packages, and some cheese. They give a veteran discount. Then on to Chinook.
Oregon coast and then on down 101 into the California redwoods is always a great drive. The crazies passing in an unsafe manner are everywhere. That is why there are so many head on collisions on Hwy 93 between here and Phoenix.

Pablo, my wife and I just got home from an Oregon coast road trip. Spent last Monday and Tuesday in Astoria. If I had known you may have been in the area, I would have loved to have met and said hi.
From there we worked our way down to Lincoln. But not before stopping at the Tillamook cheese factory for an ice cream cone. Their ice cream is so much better there, than their grocery store offerings. Stopped in Depoe Bay for a whale watching excursion, and then on down the coast.
As Pablo said, no rooms on the Oregon coast in the $100 price range. Even the 60+ year old motels are in the $140 or more, price range.

We saw the old Tillamook factory in the late 1980's. Wow huge place now, big back then. Did you go to Blue Heron? Tillamook Country Smoker?
We were so near, Ft Stevens Sun, Monday, Tues! Our youngest used to live in Astoria so we know the area really well. Yeah we used to drive all the way to Lincoln for outlet mall. Completely nuts.
Hallelujah! Isn't that just one of many reasons to get off the beaten path? Sorry, but the idea of bringing the Rat Race and all of one's home amenities to the "wilderness" just doesn't sit right with me.
I only had the shakes the first day!
