The Mosier House Bed & Breakfast

Well,

Our trip is finally come to an end. 60 days later we are home! Two solid months of living in the van and driving around the country. It was a great experience, and in fact if we had the chance we would do it again in a heart beat, of course with a few days at home first. We got to see so many great places, and do some great things. Parts of our country are truly remarkable. It was ...

... I will ***** louder earlier next year! Anyways, Kermit got to try out a couple cool bikes, schmooz with some cute chicks and sample a bit of beer. Just a little bit, cause he is a lightweight ya know. You dont want to see a drunk frog at a biker party....

We walked around Timberline Lodge.

I told her about 'The Shining'.

We went to the diner and I had a porter made at Government Camp.

We slept at the lodge.

... this part of the world. Too many photos to put on this blog and we don't want to bore you so we'll stop now....after this one....View eastward up the Columbia River

... fish market afterwards and couldn't find any lutefisk...apparently it's not as much of a national food as they'd have you think. Q3. Have you met anyone who you have started to keep in touch with over email? A3. Now and then I meet people who are cool and exchange e-mails with them. I still keep in touch with the people I met in Scotland and Ireland most. Q4. What has been the most infuriating experience? A4. The camera breaking and ...
