Bend/Sunriver

Well, we are now happily ensconced at TT Bend/Sunriver in Oregon. We came over on 97 from Mt Shasta in snow, snow,snow! Our average speed was about 35 mph. It wasn't so very stressful as everyone else was also going slow. There were no truckers that were in a hurry in that windy mess. Plus, we were following a snowplow. A good bonus for that day.

We made it here safe and sound and very dirty! The first night it was down to 19 degrees. Why are we heading NORTH! Last night it was 22. An improvement!

The fresh snow on the mountains is beautiful. It glows in the sunlight on the peaks! We took a trip up to one of the ski lodges on Mt Bachelor and the snow banks along the road were still at least 10 feet high. Spring in the higher elevations must be a long ways off yet.

We had a great visit with Pam and Kim Johnson at Chan's, a Chinese restraunt, last night. I think we were there for four hours just blab, blab, blabbing! It was GREAT! We hope to get in at least one more visit with family here before moving on.

On the first we will be heading for Pacific City near Portland( and that is no April Fools Joke), and are looking forward to visiting with more family there as well, from both the Johnson (Cecilia's) family and my Gravdahl family. It is so good to be able to see them all face to face again.

Leave me a note and let me know if anyone is reading this. I have only had one comment and that was from the very first post. Is anybody out there! :-(
