Greetings from Happyrock, USA
Today, with very mixed emotions, our journey came to a pitstop, for now...
We left Chemult after a great breakfast and headed through Central Oregon... a very beautiful part of the world...
After passing through Bend and Redmond, we started seeing familiar landmarks that reminded us that our journey was almost complete... Monkey Face Rock at Smith Rock State Park...
Peter Skene Ogden State Park... There is a city in Utah named after this guy...and the three high bridges, next to the park, that span the Crooked River Gorge...
The old bridge...
The new bridge...
and the railroad bridge...
The old bridge is closed and makes a great viewing vantage point for the new bridge...
Deb snapped this great photo of our most familiar landmark as we were about to head through Warm Springs and up the south flank of good old Mt Hood...
She took this one just before we got to Government Camp... and this was the last sunshine we saw... it got foggy and misty as we headed down through Zig Zag... the first precipitation that we have driven in since Portland, Maine... go figure... WE'RE HOME!We had a great hamburger at Calamity Jane's in Sandy, Oregon and then drove home... we pulled into the driveway about an hour-and-a-half before we had to be at leadership meetings at church... after almost 12,000 miles and over 9,000 photographs, we are back to the real world!
Final thoughts next...
