On Friday morning we said goodbye to beautiful Wyoming and headed into Idaho. Our first destination was scenic Idaho Falls so we could fix Nel's phone. Heading west from Idaho Falls, we passed through Arco, the first town to be lit by nuclear power, from the nearby national reactor testing station. After that we headed to Craters of the Moon where we felt for the first time in a long time.... heat! Craters of the Moon was over ...

At night I struggle with sleep, trying to keep the images from my mind. I often fail. I ask you to please not tell me how you don't like dog parks or your horrendous animal story, I've heard enough and I hurt too deeply. Instead hold us in your hearts, give a donation to your animal shelter and hug someone you love.

 With Love,
Renee

... 3 hours later when the sprinkler system went off on our faces. There's nothing quite like getting woken up not knowing where you are and for some reason you're soaking wet. ha We were a little stressed at the time, but having memories like that are worth it. Once we woke up when the sun was rising, we went to the Campus bookstore and got a t shirt. We then headed towards Beaverton and Portland.

When we arrived at Springfield it was already late and dark. We were all hungry. So it didn't took us long to get our stuff into the Hotel rooms (which by the way were huge with its own little kitchen and a sofa.) and get out to find a restaurant. But we couldn't go to the Brewery around the corner as planned since under 21 were not allowed. So we ended up going to Jack in the Box. Not a great start into holidays. But it was OK and fast and also ...

It was well after 11 when we finally made it on the I5 with Rogers Satnav not really helping . We ...

We did it, we bought our one way ticket from Portland, Oregon to Madrid, Spain. We chose one way because we are not sure when we want to return, and we don't want to feel rushed. We also liked the idea of an adventure from the beginning to the end, not knowing how to get home is going to be a challenge. I don't think words can express how excited and anxious I am to be getting ready for such a big event.

... again to dry. So far so good! Now it's time for final assembly! I measure the bottom mouth of the clay liner and cut a circular hole in the bottom of the garbage can that is about 1 inch narrower all the way around. That way I would have a nice little shelf to rest the skewers on when they are in the oven cooking. And I gotta say the garbage can idea is brilliant because the bottom has all these circular ripples in it for strength, so cutting a perfectly circular hole that is also ...

... ended up in Jackson, Wyoming, land of the rich and beautiful. After two weeks sleeping on the ground and washing in gas stations, we were not so beautiful and we were definitely not rich. So off we went, north to Grand Teton National Park. Wow. It was breathtaking. We camped there for a while, then continued on to Yellowstone. I have never been to any of these places (growing up my family was pretty set on the Crooked River Ranch as ...

... up at the outskirts of town and delivered us into the hands of Barbara Thygeson of Salem Friends Meeting. She lives in a large continuing care facility, Capitol Manor, and had reserved a guest room for us. We rested from our walk and then headed out to our evening's joint presentation to Freedom Friends and Salem meeting. The surprise of the evening was seeing Louise Clements once again. She brought some Friends and her grandchildren to see our presentation, describing herself as ...
