Thank you so much for that Colin, It really means alot to me and is point on~but what else do you do for us bus addicts? A~ plenty! Wish you were here to see the beautifull rainbow over "Navin" and "Jerrie Lou" driving up the Oregon highway to a new beggining. So very many photo ops and many have been taken by me and others. Will take a few days to get into a groove of posting pictures, but sure DjEep has that down and will do what he does best and that is a 10-4 .Amskeptic wrote:My prayers are with the spirit of Elwood as he pluckily tackles the road ahead. I am sure Elwood is happy to trundle about the planet given plenty of time a spritz of oil and a dash of love.

This is my day 5 of travel and now in Salem,Oregon in a hotel room, would have loved to stay in camp ground but my carabus folks have really important connection to keep and we will regroup tommorrow in Portland.
Elwood is still running strong on flat roads and of coarse down hill, but the long uphills bog him down to 2nd gear. Be really glad to cross the border and take a slower pace. The sceanery has been awsome.
even when I arrived after 10 pm last night in the OMG redwoods With driving rain most of the way and horrific acedents to pass by, lost and confussed I was determined to find my road mates, and I did They were there to meet and greet me and show me where to park. Can,t say enough about these two =D> Moved tons of "needed" stuff around and put what the rain would not harm out of the bus. I fit just fine to get a good first night sleep in my Elwood. Will fill in some funny "blanks" in the am or latter. Feeling tired, but strong about this trip.
Did I tell you Im only 50 sum miles from PORTLAND,OREGON
