Oregon October 2008

Back from Oregon.


We endured a mechanical failure at the outset, causing us to get off the ground 6 hours late and miss all our connections. We wound up going Denver to LA and then getting off Frontier Airlines (leaving our luggage with Frontier), and taking Alaska Airlines to Portland. We finally got there in the middle of the night, 8 hours later than expected. Oh well, we now have $300 worth of Frontier travel vouchers.

You can get a nice view of all the pictures at: http://carolrhodes.smugmug.com/gallery/6362520_JkjDM

The photos speak for themselves, but what I didn't get to capture was our close-up view of salmon fighting their way up the salmon ladders at the Bonneville Dam, the great burger place with Huckleberry pie at Cascade Locks overlooking the Columbia River (although some of the pictures are taken looking out from the restaurant), and the gorgeous ride on highway 14 on the way to Mount St. Helens. The condo is excellent and the weather was sunny and cool. The ride back one week later was smooth.

We got home very late so this week has been very rough with Julia's tonsillectomy and two workshops.
