Oh, it was another long drive yesterday from Idaho to here, Madras, OR. It happened again, Carol should of printed a topographic map for the drive through eastern Oregon, because of all the huge mountains, up and down switch back roads-the full and running stream always parallel to the highway- a beautiful site around every corner, but that means stopping and staring and ooooing and ahhing.
I am really getting the hang of things now-Carol found some food at the Subways that I really like and yesterday they found a great little cafe at Austin Junction. They were so happy when they returned to the car and after Carol unwrapped my treat, I understood why-we were all happy campers all the way through the forest-listening to Peter Gabriel and Eric Clapton-what a show!!
I heard Carol on the phone, trying to find someone to give me a bath-and I only thought this was a vacation!! Seems I am to make the acquaintance of some really special people today and she wanted me especially soft and cuddly-so we will see.
We are headed north around the Mt. Hood area and then into Portland by this afternoon and then back into the car with the "kids" for a short ride to the beach (whatever a "beach" is) tomorrow.
Well, I'm going to finish my chicken treat and take a nap before I have to be bathed.
See ya at the beach!!
