Made in Oregon




And we did it! Oregon at last…..and it was beautiful. Almost immediately, it changed…first, dry desert, like Idaho, …then patches of green along huge canyons….then lush rolling hills and finally tall, giant green forests. We found our way to Emigrant Springs and set up camp surrounded by massive trees, chilly evening breezes, and the smell of campfires and evergreen. It was beautiful. It was Oregon. We tucked our tent right under a canopy created by tangled trees.

The next day was a relatively short drive - only four hours. Most of it was marked as a national scenic route….for good reason. We traveled the stretch of the Columbia River. The road meandered curves cut by water. We snaked along towards the city….
