Last day of driving...

...for awhile.  We go to Portland today, less than 2 hours away, and we have use of a condo there for a couple of weeks before we have to head back to Michigan.  We drove as far as Eugene, OR yesterday, stopping in northern California to see some more redwoods along the way.  I am amazed by the size of those behemoths every time I see them!

We also happened along an "Elk Feeding Area" where we saw about 12-15 Elk feeding right up next to some cabins.  There were also 8-10 people standing around taking pictures, etc. and the herd of Elk was not the least bit concerned.  Evidently this is a pretty common occurrence there and they have gotten used to people being nearby.  There was only one small bull in the group, which I found odd; he seemed pretty immature to have such a large herd of females.  As we were leaving though, we saw another herd of 20 or so lying in the shade. so I can only assume that there were more bulls there.

So we made it safely this far...only a hundred or so miles to go and we can settle in for a couple of weeks.  I don't know how much I'll be on here, so if you don't see any posts for awhile, don't be concerned.  Bye for now.
