Eastward ho!

My plan was to leave at 10am. I was up at 7am and watered the garden, fed the cat, and all of the other pre-trip chores. Heather texted me while I was getting ready and asked if I had time to chat. We made plans to talk at 10am.

I was backing out of my driveway at 10am, and Heather called when I was 2 blocks away. I had to pull over to get the speaker working. We talked for over 1 1/2 hours and I completely messed up where I was going. I got on I-205, instead of I-84, and it took me several tries to get back on track.

We ended our call as I was arriving in The Dalles--my first planned stop. We said our goodbyes, and I stopped for gas and bathroom break. Next stop Boardman rest area.Read more
