Adventure 961: Point Ruston, Tacoma/74

We left with the chickens from Hines, OR and traveled on straight trafficless roads for most of our traverse through Oregon. We were glad to leave the desert sage brush, especially when the line of mountains peeked their white tops out from the Western skyline near Madras. The Three Sisters, Mt. Adams, Mt Jefferson, what's left of Mt. St. Helens, and of course, the majestic Mt Hood all presented us with an up lift of God's glory. That's not to say God didn't bless the sage brush desert lands with glory, and for sure when we were ensconced in bumper to bumper  I-5 traffic later in the day we had to redefine God's glory. Nevertheless, we arrived safely at our daughter's home in Damascus where we enjoyed a scrumptious lunch, and later to our friend's home in Point Ruston, which to say the least, is magnificent. We enjoyed chatter, dinner, after dinner chatter, and the realization that life is good, especially today.

Mt. Hood was a pleasant sight after many miles crossing the Southern desert lands.

She prepared a delicious lunch of roasted vegetables for lunch.

Yummy good.

Deb and Ed: we're lucky to call them friends.
