Jim & Joan – Dusty suggested you hang around until the Sequim CBGT and I concur that would be a great get together for you to make. The John Wayne Marina is a really nice marina in Sequim Bay. In the mean time you could go on an interesting cruise up the Columbia River and Snake River to Lewiston Idaho. Bill and Ell made the cruise down river and wrote about it on their web site. It is a trip I plan on making some day, but I will be doing it from Olympia.
There are lots of interesting places to spend time visiting. I can arrange for safe keeping of your truck and trailer in Longview or Vancouver, if you were to make the trip. Also when you get to The Dalles Oregon, I will take you on a tour of the Schreiner Ranch. It is across the Columbia River from The Dalles. I am working on a web page for them and you can look at it HERE. This is just a temporary address. The site is not up or finished, needs lots of text and descriptions before going live and much of the text is just used for filler until I have time to describe it properly.
If you do decide to make the trip, Terri and I would enjoy doing part of the cruise with you in our boat. We do not have time to make the entire trip. The temperatures from Hood River east will be more like Texas except without the humidity.
