Portland During 4 pm Rush

Oh yea, we found ourselves right in the middle of it today. Was not too bad though. Seems like most of it was heading the other way.
We got a few shots on our way back last night. It was getting dark but Teri snapped a few shots of the Columbia River. Something I noticed is there are a lot more wind turbines on the Washington side. We notice them in a lot of places we travel. When Teri and I first started traveling west we had only seen them west of Abiliene, Tx. Now it seems they are sprouting up everywhere. I think it is a good thing, just like our solar panels on top of the coach.



One of the dams and a bridge at Biggs Junction.












Teri got one of the toll booth as we crossed the Columbia at the bridge of the gods. Pictures following are two we snapped this morning. A momma deer and her two little ones. They were right up near us. Click the pictures to see them in more detail.
Teri and I drove back to Camus last night and stayed at her brother's place. He left yesterday in his motorhome for South Dakota. We appreciated them asking us to stay there and may very well spend another night there in days to come.









We saw this old one this afternoon while hitting the stop lights in Vancouver. Wouldn't you like to take a spin in it? We hope to grab more old car shots in the days to come. They are everywhere out here. We need to drive with the camera on so we can shoot them as we meet them on the roads. On the weekends, when sun shines, they are just everywhere.
Well, we arrived back at the coach about 6 pm. Drove in the rain most of the way. Good thing we use rain-x. Have a bad wiper blade and could not use them. Need to get that fixed tomorrow. We will run into town in the morning to meet Teri's mom at one of the stores. It is her bithday, Teri's mom. Her step mother is the one who is ill and not doing well. We appreciate your concern and thank you for the emails and prayers.
Folks are warm back in Mo. We are freezing out here. Wore a jacket all day. I think I have mentioned that we are staying in a dry camp rv park. 5 bucks a day, what a bargain. Solar panels are great. We live just like we do when we are plugged up to electric. Life is good in Tillamook. Stop back for a visit when you can.
