Roadtrip-Pacific Northwest

[The F-H.C.A.G.]

We've reached Portland, after an overnight stay in Roseburg, an overnight stay with Jamie's aunt and uncle in Hillsboro, and a visit with my grandmother in Forest Grove.

Perfect Mt Shasta day! And now I know you're flying up 5.

Did you stop in Weed?

We considered a stop in Weed just for the giggles, but we wanted to make good time. So, we just made fun of the name and drove on by.

I think that you will find that is Black Butte. From

I am looking forward to more pictures, and to meeting you on August 1.

Thanks, ronstew, now I don't have to look it up!

Thank you for the update and very nice photos.

Wow this is a long journey... You must have very patient children !

Did you take your dog along with you ?

I hope you are enjoying the trip. The weather looks fine.


Kind Regards to you and Jamie,

Thanks, Robert. Yes we have little angels for children. Actually, we're bribing them $5.00 a day, all or nothing (meaning if they are good for ALL 10 days of our trip, they get $50.00 each, but if they're bad even once, they get nothing!). The dog is not nearly as good as the children, though, so we left her with Jamie's parents.

The weather is wonderful, but it is warming up, even as we speak-expected to be in the 90s (farenheit) over the weekend and next week in Seattle.

Yup, Black Butte....classic example of a cinder cone.

Are both the kids still alive?

I'll be at the Enumclaw Games on Sat and Sunday, if you're there. Lunch gathering happens at the hammer cage at 11:30.

Both kids are not only still alive, they're still earning their money!

I really wish we could be there for the games Alan. But, no matter how much we love you, beer is calling and resistance is futile. Beer is good. "Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy". So, unless you're providing 80 different microbrews at the games, I'm afraid we're still going to BrewFest tomorrow!

We will be arriving in Seattle on Monday afternoon-maybe you could just stick around until the Tuesday night gathering? They don't need you back at work or anything do they?


Alright, enough socializing.

I have a few more photos to post if they're done uploading.

Be well,

Star
