Diesel Prices

[Torben]

Hi Jeff
you will not have any problem with fuel on 97, in fact that is where it was $2.59 the lows on the trip

How is the diesel availability along 97 while towing? We're planning a trip up to Everett, WA via 97 to Wenatchee and US2 over Stevens Pass. It surprised me when my trip planning software (Topo 7) came up showing this route only around 250 miles longer then a shot up I5.

That's a great plan Jeff you'll really enjoy that route over I-5. So when do you plan on being up in this neighborhood?

Jeff, while you're still in the planning stage I would like to suggest a day or two at Maryhill State Park on the Washington side of the Columbia River. http://www.parks.wa.gov/parks/?selected ... bject=maps


Although I've never personally been there I've heard nothing but rave reviews from other campers while we were at other state campgrounds. It's near the top of our list when we start our rediscovery of the PNW next year as retirees.

I'm looking at late May - June. My sister could get us free passes to the Arlington Fly In over the 4th of July, but I'd rather make the trip before it gets hot so we'll give that a pass. After we leave Granite Falls, it will be over the North Cascade Highway to Twisp. Terry and I haven't been that way in WAY too long. The highway should be open before we start the trip, I'd think. We'll return home via US97, unless something distracts us. That's the hard part about planning this trip, so much to see, not enough time, so we'll just have to make the trip again.

I've read good reviews about Maryhill SP. Stopping along the Columbia is ON the plan for both legs, there's a good chance we'll stop there at least once. And good to know about fuel stops. I hate it when I can't find a station I can use because I have the 'Bird in tow, and the gauge is around 1/4. That's with gas, diesel is still an all new experience in that respect.

We'll be retired by then and who knows maybe we'll see you at Maryhill.

That would be great. We're just taking our retirement a bit at a time for now.

In the middle of NY right now--Utica and the prices have been $2.69 to 3.03 for the last three fillups. A four cent decrease a couple of days ago, first in several weeks.
