In early March, Trail Guy and I took a road trip. Trips are not the same as vacations, in my personal dictionary*. A trip is when you keep moving. A vacation is when you choose a place, get there, and enjoy the area. Maybe you actually unpack your suitcase, and park your vehicle for the duration.

This trip included stops in Redding (California), Salem (Oregon), some small place near Mt. Hood (Oregon) and a night in Bend (Oregon).

Oregon is clean, green, and has no sales tax. Why don’t we all move there? It was sunny EVERY SINGLE DAY! The standard joke about Oregonians is that they don’t tan, they rust. Couldn’t prove it by the weather we enjoyed in early March.

Enough chatting. Let’s have some visual aids, shall we?

Ask me if you want to know any specifics about these photos. There were many many more, and I may post a few more with details. Or not. The empty canvases are nagging at me.

*Personal dictionary also includes the true definition of hike versus walk, along with some fairly original (to someone else – I stole them) words such as “porkadelia”.
