Oakridge - Oregon
Sorry, but we've had computer problems for the past couple of days. Will try to post something this evening. We've been visiting with a friend of John's who is also a railway man who has a model train layout - O gauge for those who care. Drove over Willamette Pass yesterday - the road was ice and it was snowing. All the truckies had to stop and put chains on their wheels and we weren't supposed to be there unless we had traction tyres. We made it with our 'all weather' tyres and didn't slip once. Was glad to be over the other side though. I can say we haven't been anywhere on our trip where the scenery hasn't been amazing. The last two days are no exception. Will post some photos tonight if the computer cooperates.
