Gold Beach, OR

We keep forgetting to talk about “manners” on the road. When we are pulling the rig, we are about 45ft long and have different speed limits than regular cars and pickups. Or, at least that’s true in California. We drive slower to accommodate the extra length, breadth and height. Anyway, we try to be courteous to other drivers and if need be on 2-lane roads we will pullover at pullouts or scenic overlooks to allow the parade behind us to get around and on their way. Across the country, we have had a rare “beep” of thank you for getting out of the way. BUT, in Northern California and Southern Oregon, we are getting pretty regular thank-you’s. Also, there are a lot more hitch hikers here than we have seen throughout our 2 years around the states.
