We left the RV park early and headed for the storage area to finish up the preparations for storing the fifth wheel for several months: pumped the tires up to 85#, took off the Pressure Pro sensors, covered all the tires, covered the A/C unit, etc.

Then we headed off to LePage Park, a COE park along the John Day River where it dumps into the Columbia River, stopping in Pendleton to pick up groceries at Albertson's. The last time we were at this park was back in 2006 just after we'd finished up our volunteering at Malheur National Wildlife Refuge. Maxx was having problems, and he (apparently) got stung by something at this park and the area swelled up and was very painful. It broke open a day or so later necessitating a trip to another vet. It wasn't until we were in Sutherlin that the vet there finally diagnosed Maxx with Valley Fever.
