Made it to Salem for our second rest stop where we fueled up and had some dinner at Newport Seafood Restaurant. The food was decent. We started off with New England Clam Chowder which was very tasty and had lots of hearty chunks of seafood and potatoes to it. Than we had calamari as I always have this temptation to try calamari where ever we go.
It came in a cone wrapped in paper but the pieces were all tiny though they were very tender and the batter was light I have to admit I like big chunks of calamari. We also shared the main dish which was two crab legs on top of a bed of rice with thai chili sauce, scallops, mushrooms, peppers, and bok choy. Though the sauce tasted good the dish was soaked in it which didn't make the meal overly enjoyable. The service was great and it was nice just to stop and chat face to face instead of side to side. After dinner we hit the road and two hours later made it to Roseburg where we are staying at Americas Best Value Inn. Total for the room is $46 and you pay for what you get. If this is considered America's "Best" than I hate to see what the others along are trip will be like. There is a very strong smell of chlorine or bleach which could be a good thing as it tells you its clean or a bad thing as it tells you they needed to really bleach the room out from the previous guests.

Our first day has been a success as I am very happy with the miles we covered. Tomorrow will be an early start as we want to reach Joshua National Park. It would be a great opportunity for me to practicing using my new camera which is a bit beyond my level. It’s 10:52pm and I shall now tuck away in to this unknown bed praying that there are no bed bugs, to get some much needed rest as we were up at 5:20am. Good night!
