hi again ... realized you were coming from the south, so reverse previous directions.
also add some stuff you might want to know.
assuming you are using diesel fuel, some of the lower priced places on your trip are on I-84, East bound out of Portland, take the first Troutdale exit, at the far end the Flying J. Moving on over on I-84, take the hwy 730 short cut to 395 and just before you enter 395 there are a couple of stations, the Tescero is ussually cheapest.
once on 395 and I-90 avoid fueling in WA, our taxes make fuel higher. If you fueled at the last stop, you should be able to make Post Falls, ID. I-90, just as you enter Idaho, take the first exit, a left under the I-90 and the first right will set you up for another Flying J, big truck stop, with your own RV lane and lowest fuel price.
If you decide to make the stop i suggested at Mary Hill, plan a few days. from there you can make the Mary Hill Museum, and Mary Hill winery, pricey but excellent wine. Closest Walmart is in Hood River with good access, exit 62, south side I-84 and east a mile or so. also above Mary Hill state park is a copy of Stone Hendge, nice view of Columbia river Valley.
On any trip down I-84 you must stop at Multnomah Falls, which is actually a combination of falls that total the most drop in height in the continential US.
an alternate from the flat I-84 run, exit at Biggs junction, over the bridge past Mary Hill and up 97, which will take you into Yakima, there's a nice state park there, but the casino is cheaper, but no trees. there is also a winnery tour that starts from there. continue on 97 will get you into I-90 and east bound.
