Yeah, but yer glad we do.
(gotta go, I ~really~ need to get to church now...)
Yep! Should be a pretty drive - lots of national forest. The downside to that is that there are a lot of stretches of nothing.
I think I have it figured...thing I'll likely stop in Ogden, UT the first night and Pendleton, OR the second. It makes the second day a bit long, but not horribly so, and should get me in by early afternoon at the lastest on Tuesday.
I still hafta run to the library in the next coupla days to print off my cheat sheets! Hopefully I can get away without having a navigator...Margaret did a great job of that!
Tam's awful smart, but not *that* smart.
Just cuz it says forest doesn't mean there are trees ;~D
I remember most of S Idaho and all of Eastern OR to be brown high desert sage.
Aw...don't spoil my anticipation!
Though...high desert isn't really something I've seen, either. So it should be interesting just the same! And interesting to see how the terrain changes as I approach the coast!
In any case, I suspect it'll be more interesting than, say, Iowa and Nebraska were...
I dunno....I thought the brown high desert sage was pretty interesting.
It is interesting, for the first hundred miles :~D
Well, then...it's a good thing I only have to drive through about eight hundred miles of it...give or take a couple hundred miles or so.
It's variable... and it is interesting. It'll start out brown hills, and become brown but flatter. You will go through some high pine areas in Idaho too, I think, unless you're too far south there.
The view was acutally better than that...You could see from Mt Hood at one end to Three Sisters at the other. This was taken from the test site in Madras.
Pretty colors!
Pretty picture, OT!
Evenin' everyone!
Evenin Ruthy! Are things getting back to normal at work?
Pretty much. It'll be the end of the week before I'm fully caught up. :-)
Sent a reply...with a selfish request. ;-)
Isn't it nice to know you're valuable? Sometimes I wonder if anyone would notice if I didn't show up one day.
I'm sure they would!
