Bend, OR! So glad to be with wonderful cousins Josie and Dorothy and contemplating our big turn eastward soon. We're feeling the length of the voyage a little, but still excited for Yellowstone, for Devils Tower, for Mt. Rushmore and other things. It's hard to leave opportunities unpursued, but it's good to think of home too. Still, a big old country separating us from our beds!
Welcomed Dan and Angela and Sophie and Elie Mahoney next morning (8/8), who were nice enough to make the 3+ hour trip from Salem just to hang with us. Good friends indeed! And good cousins, to let
us make it quite a houseful. Excellent float with many of us down the Deschutes, then fine salmon dinner with well chosen microbrews (it's Mahoney, after all). Perfect day. Liz got the added bonus of finally riding a horse today with a private trip to visit Dorothy's baby, Melia. What a thrill, and a special time with Dorothy to boot.
