We have ventured all the way from Hermiston to Lafeyette, OR where we are parked at an "OK" RV Park. At least it's quiet and inexpensive. We went up to Wilsonville last night to visit and have dinner with Kathleen.
Today, I went to the Evergreen Aviation Museum in McMinnville just a short hop away while Lou stayed in the RV and worked with the Wii Fit and updated our finances on the computer. The museum is really great with many different planes including, of course, the "Spruce Goose". Although it's made mostly of birch, the negative pundits of the day couldn't think of anything catchy to go with birch. It is a very large plane and takes up the entire hanger. It was moved in pieces from Long Beach, CA and reassembled in the hanger. Pics attached.
Did you know that it rains in Oregon? Steady light rain all day long and will continue for awhile. In spite of that, Lou and I wandered down to the downtown area of McMinnville and wandered around. Book stores, ice cream shops, coffee shops and LOOK! a quilt shop! Very pleasant and interesting shopping area for a small downtown.
Tomorrow, on towards the Oregon Coast. If it's going to rain, we may as well be at the source since that is where it will quit first. Right? How's that for optimistic thinking??
