Kit and Carol on the Road

I thought it would be a grand adventure: driving the red car to Arizona. After a day and a half I am thinking it was a really STupid idea. But we are committed. This is a ONE time only deal though. The first day is always the hardest with all the traffic and metro areas and horrid weather to boot--a spitty day on the freeway. We made it as far as Champoeg State park--the rain had stopped --and it was warm--so we got in a nice walk. (Bummer--OR state parks charge an extra $5 for a vehicle without a tow bar) Today we just came as far as Sweet Home where my mom lives. Good day not to be on the freeway--it has been raining steadily all day. (On Guemes it only rains an hour at a time :) ) No photos yet--imagine gray skies,and rain. And miles of highway. Tomorrow afternoon we move the short distance to Armitage Park in Eugene. Jaz, the red car, has an appointment with Pat, the mechanic.
