March 17- Yakama-Saturday. 39’sunny 7.30am and we are on our way to Yakama, only 200 mi. this was not a good stop as 4am trains blow whistle and every hour after that. We take hwy 82 and get to Yakama 11am 52’ We are the only ones here. We plug into electric. Any one can stop her for free. Our appointment isn’t until Monday. It gets up to 72 today.

We stop in a rest stop and discover that something is leaking under the truck. We are half way between towns, naturally,37 mi to Mountain Home. 9.45am they can’t take us until after lunch. I go for a walk around town. 2.30 we are all repaired. A crack in a pipe on the transmission. Its too far to go all the way to Yakama so we head to La Grande. 71’ and sunny. We stop at a Flying J for the night. We get along the edge so we can put out our slide. We go to their restaurant for dinner. I opt for the salad and soup bar.
