So we’re finally settled into this beautiful Columbia River Gorge. We’ve selected a KOA so that we can have hook-ups and get some of the laundry done that has accumulated for the last 10 days. We’re just getting set up and Wooo-Wooo, here comes a train that we didn’t even know was behind the blackberry bushes. Not again! We had this happen to us back in Texas on one of our trips.
The sore throat that I’ve been fighting for the last few days has decided to really kick me in the butt. We go off to bed and then the rain starts and the train runs every hour or two, blowing its whistle at least 4 times as it passes by! Yikes!
Since we had already paid for 2 nights, we endured it and moved to a park in Gresham, just outside of Portland on Monday. The train is still in the background, but no Wooo-Wooo!
By then I couldn’t swallow or talk and had had enough of this cold thing, so off we went to the local walk-in clinic. No strep throat, which is good, but the diagnoses is sinus infection, which is not good. Antibiotics have been prescribed and a cough medicine with codeine, for a good nights sleep. (Oh, if it were only true.)
Today we’re going to brave the last of the storm front and venture into Portland, stopping by a drugstore on the way for a fresh bottle of Chloraseptic.
