We have a lot of tree pictures. They were truly unbelievable, you just can't get used to the scale of the trees. I think we have lost the autofocus on the camera, so I hope the pictures stay in focus. Anyway, "You can't depend on your eyes, when your imagination is out of focus".

September 4, 2007
We are on the Pacific coast in Northern California at the Klamath River RV park. We are right on the river less than a mile from the ocean. Most of the campers are here for the Chinook salmon fishing. They started running the middle of last month but the fishing has not been very good because

While it is Labor Day it is a day of rest for us. We drove south on I-5 by Salem, Corvallis and Eugene and are 136 miles north of the California border. Passed over the 45th Parallel today which means we are now closer to the Equator than to the North Pole. We had crossed it northbound in Mich

We are in Fairview/Troutdale on the eastern edge of Portland. We followed the Columbia River and finally did see Mount Hood. Tomorrow we will tour the coast. After three nights here over the holiday we will probably go to the Redwood National Park in northern California.

It hit near 100 degrees today so we toured the tri-cities (Kennewick, Pasco and Richland) in the morning, walked and shopped in the mall, took Alesa to a movie (Harry Potter) in the afternoon and then back to the air conditioned trailer. We may hit the hot tub and pool again later this evening.
August 29, 2007
We left Idaho and went throught Spokane. We were both surprised at how flat southeast Washington is. It is more like desert or prairie than what we expected. We are now in Pasco on the Columbia River just north of the Oregon border. We will spend two nights here so we hope to have more pictu

We took a cruise on the lake today. We ended by going by the resort with a floating green where you need a water taxi to get to the green to putt out. They move the green every day with a set of cables making the hole anywhere from 75 to 175 yards. They also have a driving range which uses flo

We are now on Pacific time in an Idaho town on a beautiful 26 mile long mountain lake. There are float plane rides, parasailing, dinner cruises, resorts and tremendous views. We are going to stay another night and enjoy the day before moving on. We have half decided to continue to the Pacific
