Day 1 - Redmond, OR to Portland, OR

Started out early on our drive to the desert for a little time in the sun. After two quick stops for breakfast (McDonalds) and coffee (Starbucks), we headed out as it was just getting light. We opted for the slower route through The Dalles, rather than take on the new snow over Mount Hood. As usual, the drive was uneventful.

A visit with in-laws for conversation and lunch was followed by a trip to the nearby Mall and a small donation at Nordstrom.

Next up was the usual fun filled dinner with Don and Loretta at the Brush Prairie Tavern. Just can’t go to Portland without meeting them for burgers and beer.

The rest of the night was spent trying to figure out just how bad the snow was going to be the next day. Alternative routes were a must for the Honda with summer tires. 235 miles today.
