RUFUS

Fireworks and bar-b-que here at Rufus, OR. We are camping at the local park and enjoying watching all the wind mills across the Columbia River in Washington state. Behind the hill from Doug, not visible are about 2000 of the white giants. I believe they are still expecting more in this area about 100 miles from Portland.

W were at THE DALLES yesterday, a slightly larger town than Rufus where the Lewis and Clark expedition stopped to rest and where some of the group settled. Nice low key Farmers Market and toured the area observing many of the murals that depict the local history.

Loads of kite surfers here and RV occupants along side the river. In the area where we are, all weekend families have been arriving to camp, looks like a lot of family reunions, drinking buddies and some spiritual beings that can be found in OR. Doug is teaching today; taking a day off from building an addition onto his pole barn where he lives.

Below is the picture of Crater Lake where we camped in the snow before coming to Rufus. Expect to meet up with Brad and Trina later today.
