Wahooooo!
Reservations made at Red Lion for Thur, Fri, Sat nites (thanks for setting that deal up for us!). Plus they'll accommodate our dogbeasts.
I think we'll be in Portland area on Wed.
But...request here if anyone can provide direction:
We'll be traveling from Northern Utah in our DogChariot (minivan?) and will probably leave the Friday, Saturday, or Sunday before. So we'll have a few days to get to Oregon from here. I'm sure many of you have made that trip (or similar) before so - please make suggestions for the itinerary. We both love nature, photographing nature, staying off the beaten path, etc. We're not averse to taking backroads and detours (that seems to be the norm for our road trips)- nor to camping some, either. The dogs are pretty good about being left in the chariot for a couple of hours now and then so that's not necessarily a limiting factor.
So...what should we see/do? What is not to be missed between here and there? We're not very good at planning things - but getting some ideas in mind would be fantastic.
(Also, I think someone should design, produce, and make available a Sempervivum Society sash or bandoleer. They seem to have gone out of fashion for some reason - and we could be in the vanguard of bringing them back!!)
