We are stewards of a vast and beautiful country.

After four days of driving from #PureMichigan with two cats (whining much of the way), the three of us have arrived in #EugeneOR!

Here is the route we took: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1Z-6hqQd3ppUeAzIblPrz3Q4I8DNSyYo&usp=sharing

Each day of driving brought a new and magnificent landscape, from the wide plains of Iowa and Nebraska, to the craggy rocks of Wyoming, the snow capped mountains of Utah, and the winding rivers of Idaho. Then, on the final leg, we drove straight across the high desert plains of Oregon, a vast expanse of sky and dry land, over the Cascade Range where rows of pine trees welcomed us as we made our way across the Willamette National Forest down Rt. 126 along the McKenzie River into Eugene.

I am grateful to have had a safe journey, and I look forward to doing it all over again with Val and Darcy in July!

@cplong Glad you made it! I’ll look forward to following your adventures.

@cplong Great to see that you had a safe journey! We traveled with three cats, so I have a lot of sympathy for you.

Welcome to Eugene, Chris!
