The first weeks in Oregon

Even though we are "stuck" in Oregon waiting for some parts, we are getting a chance to explore.

The weather here changes dramatically from day to day. We even had one morning when we woke up to SNOW!















We toured the Cottage Grove Covered Bridges. It was a really nice drive and the bridges are wonderful. Most of them were built in the 20's and 30's. Only one is still open for traffic with one lane over a small stream.












So far we have only managed one family visit. Michael and Yvette (David's cousin) St John live in Vancouver, Washington. We spent a few days there and had a great time. Michael and Yvette are special people even if we are related. Yvette and I were able to exchange some family photos and stories. I was able to get their wedding picture. They were married in Nigeria while both serving in the Peace Corps.





It ain't exactly camping!
