Continental Divide

We're at the Continental Divide having breakfast, catching some internet for the first time since Bellingham.

Hello! Yes, we're alive.

We hope to make it to Tok Alaska by tonight...

Cicero has been doing well, considering. The first night we camped he tried to escape. He's been hanging out in his crate most of the time.

We stopped at Liard Hot Springs yesterday. We also saw a lot of wildlife: a bear, two herds of mountain sheep, families of bison, a rabbit, a moose, and a groundhog.

P.S. The mosquitoes are HUGE here.

Timberline Lodge, Mount Hood, Sandy Oregon

Timberline Lodge, perched at 6,000 feet on Mount Hood, was a WPA project completed in 1937. I was very impressed.

The White River with Mount Hood behind the clouds.

Al's speeder.

Leaving Karen and Al's. Cat status: satisfied.

More to come...

We're in Bellingham with Robin Blue and the boys. This is the first time since Eureka that we've hooked up to an internet connection so I haven't posted regularly. Everyone is dreaming upstairs, it's 1 AM, and I should stop squinting in the dark at my keyboard and go to sleep. Hopefully I can catch up on the last few days before we head out tomorrow, into Canada!

Inland

Dan honed in on a skate park in Reedsport, right before we turned inland on Highway 38. I rekindled my flame for old barns along the way.

Family Roots

On the road to Bois Cope State Park. Ya heard.

Cope Lane in Langlois Oregon. That's right!

There's a lot of Cope and Decker family history in Port Orford, Langlois, and Coos Bay.

Port Orford

We visited my aunt Hana and uncle Rob in Port Orford, a pretty little town along the Oregon Coast.
