First of all - thanks to all the Kossacks who sent information and tips to my daughter and grandson as they started their great NW Adventure. They left the 15th. Update under the squiggle.
Four nights in Portland, OR visiting relatives. Oh my. For my 28-year old, recycling-centric, hippie, non-religious daughter - Portland was a revelation. Particularly coming from SC! So she's pretty sure she'd be happy in Portland.
But today she took to the road, heading to Newport, OR. Here's her travelogue:
The drive between Corvallis and Newport was pure heaven! I seriously considered stopping at every farm on the way, knocking on the door, and asking if there were any eligible bachelors to marry me so I could stay there forever!! :) now we're off to the beach!
They're in Newport tonight. Then on to Forks. And then to Port Angeles.
I'll keep you posted. But can I just thank all the Pacific NW folks who gave her so much to work with? You guys are great. And I hope to meet you all when we all move your way.
