Departing Oregon

Oy!  It's been a day.  We have spent hours laying out clothing for the upcoming trip to Vienna, and then stuffing it into our new luggage which we don't like.  Then we spent time wrapping the electronics in plastic and looking for places to put them.  That was followed by taking stuff out of the RV and shoving it in to the basement.  There was also defrosting the freezer and then picking up a car at the Eugene airport.  I know I should be censured for complaining about packing for a major trip, but still....  
Tomorrow we have to dump the tanks so they will be pristine for the gate valve replacing.  The truck must be taken to storage in Junction City.  Since we have four bikes in the bed of the truck, we decided that indoor locked manned (personed?) storage was preferable to airport parking.  After dropping the RV at Elite, we'll drive the rental car to Seattle.
Our flight leaves at 0800 hours, so we have to be up early on Wednesday.  It'll be good to BE in Vienna, rather than GOING to Vienna.



So, I leave you with two more pictures of the agricultural pulchritude that is Oregon.  Once we depart the US, I have no idea of how much internet we'll have.  Stand by for burst transmissions from the continent.

  3. I'm not sure I even remember how to pack for a trip after carrying all our belongings around for 5 years. Look forward to hearing about your trip.

    1. It was hard! We had to sort of walk through a day and think about all the stuff we touch, and then decide if it needed to go. I am so used to things being in the same place day to day, now it's all in plastic bags in the suitcase.
