Oregon summer trip (Day 18) - Grant Pass to Corning

8/3/11 (Wed)

I woke up around 9 this morning. I went to Wally to exchange my eye pen because I bought the wrong color last night. When I walked back, Tom was next to the trailer. Then we walked to the Grocery Outlet next door.  I found the aluminum foil price was $6.99 for 6 (30 feets); Hanes men's crew for $3.99(6 pairs) and Fozen Tuna 2 pak (8 oz size) for $3.29.  After that Tom went back to the trailer with the cold food and I continued to shop at Big Lots next door. While I was looking around the store, Tom called to ask me if I saw any new interesting item.  I told Tom if I see any, I would give him a call. There was a Bottle Tops PK 12 for $3.00 which I want to buy it for a long time. In california it would cost around $8 - $10 dollars.  Then I saw a electric Reynolds Handi-Vac for $3 with 3 bags. I called Tom to come here to see it himself.  After he saw it, he said why not, only $3 we could try it.  So I bought both of the items. When I paid, I got exact change of $1.05 (from Grocery and Big Lots) by coincident. Was that meant good luck? We went back to our trailer and headed to Arco on next lot to get some propane for both of our big bottle. Tom lifted the propane bottle that we filled up at Ukiah and used for 2 weeks and it felt light. He said it was about 1 gallon left. So we filled up both bottles.  (it costed $3.59/gallon, we got 13.8 gallons total). Next, Tom went to Fred Meyer for gas, since I had earned 100 fuel points, I could fill up 10 cents cheaper.  The line was long, so I walked into Fred Meyer while Tom waiting in line for gas. Tom came inside the store after filling the truck. He bought some billado bread that was more crispy than normal.




We stopped at Rogue River rest area, so all of us and both cats could have shower. Tom drove his bike into the camp ground to look for dump. When Lawrence finished his shower, then he showered Odie. Tom drive back with his bike and told us he alreay had a quick shower inside the campground. Tom helped catching Ben Ben as he was hiding deep in the trailer. I took Ben inside the shower with me. Tom drove to Yreka Wally to look around. We bought 8 vac gallon bags. After we shopped, I made ham and cheese sandwich for everyone to eat. Tom drove to Redding Safeway to fill the gas up, gas cost $3.69 -3 cents with card.  I also bought corn 6 for $1 and pork ribs boneless for $5.72.  We did not sleep there although they have free internet connection.  Lawrence wants to sleep at Rolling Casino in the city of Corning.  We got there around 11:20 p.m., the parking lot had a lot of 18 wheeler and only few RVs.



We backed in near the corner next to a class A where it is more quiet. We had soup, corns and boneless pork ribs for dinner. But Lawrence ate the soup only before he went to bed.  Tom and I watched TV and ate our dinner. We went to bed after 1:30 a.m.
