We made it. We pulled out of our little overnight spot at the Monaco factory in Eugene and traveled the 140 miles north to Kalama, Washington. We have arrived! This leg of our journey was over. Even Duchess was happy she wasn’t going to have to travel for a while. Well, we told her she wouldn’t have to and I’m sure she understood. She hadn’t seen real grass in months but it didn’t take her long to make herself comfy on it.
Traffic on Saturday morning was light. It was another gorgeous day. The sun was shining and the sky was blue. It’s amazing how much a nice day can make everything seem so beautiful. Every time we return here from the desert of the Southwest we are in awe of the beauty. This time of year it is especially beautiful with spring flowers, tall evergreen trees and lots of flowing rivers. As my dad would say, it’s definitely God’s country!

It really is green and pretty. The desert is in bloom and it also is green but there is green and then there is GREEN. Looks like a great place to settled for a few weeks. Have fun. Miss you guys.
