SH! IT'S BROKEN .........

LEFT OCEAN SHORES AFTER 4 DAYS OF BEACHIN. BUT BEFORE LEAVING, WE HAD TO CLEAN OUT THE TANKS. SET UP, PUT EVERYTHING IN PLACE, AND SHHHHHHHHHHH, IT BROKE AND STUFF WAS FLYIN' ALL OVER. SHUT IT DOWN, CLEANED THE MESS ( AS BEST WE COULD ), AND HIGHTAILED IT OUTTA THERE !!

A LITTLE FOGGY FOR AWHILE, BUT BY THE TIME WE GOT TO MOUNT ST. HELEN, IT CLEARED UP. AND WARMED UP.

84 DEGREES AND SUNNY.

DROVE UP, AND UP AND UP AND S'MORE UP ALL THE WAY TO 9400 FEET.GOOD THING WE LEFT THE MOHO DOWN THE HILL AND TOOK THE TOAD UP. NEARLY TWICE AS HIGH AS ROGER'S PASS. WINDY.

AND THE SCENERY IS UNBELIEVABLE. NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT. TWISTED TREES, 50 FOOT PILES OF ASH, BROKEN TREES. LOOK AT THE PICS AND IMAGINE THE DEVASTATION. VEGETATION, AT THIS LEVEL, GROWS ABOUT AN INCH A YEAR.

SOME THINGS MUST BE SEEN TO BE BELIEVED. THIS IS HIGH ON THE LIST.

WE ARE NOW SOUTH OF PORTLAND, OREGON. GREAT CAMPGROUND. TOMORROW, THE COAST BECKONS.

PLAN ON A 3 DAY TRIP TO GET TO SAN FRANCISCO.
