I Meant West, Not East

Apologies to the Sodens. I told them that Snoopy was napping just east of Baker City on Hwy 84.  I hadn't misplaced my global orientation, just my relationship with Snoopy.  We passed him (along with Woodstock) just east of exit 234 on Hwy 84.
His Christmas lights are still up, so I guess he hasn't moved in a while.

Then it was on to the Columbia River.
If we were towing the fifth wheel how fast could we go?  By the time I figured out where we fit on the sign, we'd be past terminal velocity. By the way, we are nowhere on the sign, so I guess we have no limit other than friction drag.
I hate last warnings. They sound so ominous.

The river weather was good for the turbines and wind surfers.


Today it is off to Portland.  Forecasted to be 95 here in Redmond.  Must be better in Portland, right?

Go Timbers!
