So I’m gearing up to drive back to Oregon for two reasons, #1 to to go on a long planned vacation to So California, with my daughter Kate and granddaughter Charlotte. The second reason is to bring the second half of the load of personal possessions that I had planned for the move. Initial planning to start at the crack of dawn tomorrow and arrive on Thursday 4/29.
In planning the route, I decided to mix it up and see more of Wyoming. My initial plans are to continue North on I-25 to pick up I-90 and take that to Spokane and then cut down through Tri-Cities to Portland. That will give me a chance to see more of Wyoming. See below:
My initial plans are to leave tomorrow early morning and to drive through to Spokane or so and see how I’m feeling. I’ll either spend the night there, or push on further.
Once I get to Portland, I’ll rest up and we fly to So Cal on Sunday for a week. I plan on visiting family, doing some Downtown Disney (at least). The purpose is basically for Kate to burn through some Disney Vacation Club points before they expire. Unfortunately, Jen and Patrick have some medical issues to deal with and won’t be joining us this time. The good news is that they can watch the cat for the week.
After we fly back up to PDX on Saturday 5/8; I plan to leave a day or so later. On this pass through I plan to go the Northern route again, but cut south short of Billings on US-310 and US-20 down through central Wy.
I expect to finish up and wind up back in Casper about the May 11th or 12th.
