Day 13: Grants Pass

We woke up early, made breakfast, packed up and checked out of Beverly Beach. We have decided that we will be coming back here in Summer 2011!

As we drove from Newport to Corvallis, the "service engine" light came on again. Donald wasn't worried, but now I am always worried when that light comes on. I hate being stranded in the middle of nowhere! We drove around Corvallis for a while before finding an Auto Zone. It turned out to be "multiple random misfires", most likely from towing the trailer. We really needed to remember to ALWAYS shift into 3rd gear when towing the trailer up hills.

Around noon I got a call from Mom. Grandma Kolkow had a stroke in the early morning and was in the hospital. The doctor ran tests and found that she's had many small strokes in the past. Her only side effect was that she was having a hard time coming up with the right words. Mom said she still had her sense of humor though!

We finally arrived in Grants Pass around 4:30. Grandpa had some bubbles and rubber duckies for the kids and they had fun playing in Grandpa's hot tub!
