Day 1

We each had the opportunity to enjoy God's beauty along 503 South out of Battle Ground at a slower pace then usaull by walking in shifts for a 1/2 mile at a time. (Laurie Ewert)

 Our first directional activity was to travel south for 1 1/2 hours then whatever city we were in we had to count the letters of that city and multiply that number times 2 and go that far east for that many miles.

We rode the Canby Ferry across the Willamette River

We ended  in Molalla, Or where we stayed for the night at Feyrer Park right on the Molalla River. We had the sweetes camp hosts Roy and Judy Farmer we had the the wonderful privalege of praying with them as the are heading back to Arizona for Roy's surgery

Day 2

Started with 45 miles west

stopped in Newberg for a self serve car wash

went to the 76 gas station and asked the attendent to give us directions to the nearest gas station. He had a great sense of humor and totally laughed it off.

made to Sheridon, OR

Go east for 1 1/2 hours hey weren't we just going west!!!

lots of silly things happened on the way

traded shoes with each other, had a family race while we were still in each others shoes this was a great chance for us to talk about not being jealous or envious or critical  of another person cause we reall don't know what it is like till we have walked in their shoes

(Victor Bruhn) sent us on a hunt for an airport which took us to Salem, but no planes were flying.

Spent the night in Lyons, OR  at John Nell Memorial Park site #8

Day 3

Go through the next 3 towns in any direction then stop in the next town

We are now in Albany, Or..............

Right now we are in Florence, OR where we just made a new friend named Kay. She is  a patient in the hospital here in Florence.  We brought her some flowers and prayed with her. Please remember to pray for her.

We have stopped and craved our name in a tree.

We are on our way to Kirby, OR the city our penny landed the nearest too when we flicked it on the map.

We will check in later......

We are staying the night in Yreka, CA and we are not sure if we will be able to go any farther south as the CA fires have caused many road closures. There is smoke everywhere. I don't have all our notes of the last 2 days activites with me, so I will have to update our traveling tomorrow.

Remember to pray for the people here in CA many people are having to leave thier homes without knowing if they will be able to return.....

We are getting closer to home.

Yesterday had us doing some pretty strange things.

We had to line up backwards and walk to the store .Meg caught it on video. This way the brain child of Laurie Ewert.

We tasted something none of us have ever had before Kippered Herring. Thanks Pam Swearingen. We had a 20% success rate with this one!  I personally hated it.

We stopped and played baseball on the side of the road ( in a safe place)

We went to Crater Lake

The higlight of everyone's day I think was when we pulled into a Chevron and had to hand somebody a $1. Meg took this one on and handed it to a boy about 16 years old he was elated!!!!!!

well yeah it was really really fun..........

                                      thanks 4 looking steph...
