The Oregon Trail - Day 9

We had a great night's sleep and are on the trail again about 8:15 and of course overcast, but no rain yet.  Of course it did rain a bit later, all the way past Riley, Oregon.  We saw lots more crops along the road again today - huge onions, sugar beets and corn.  Horses look to be a very important part of almost every farm site we see along the way.  Sheep farms are very common and free range cattle ranches, too. 

We traveled 3,349 miles from home to Aunt Kit and Uncle Mike's house in Terrebonne, Oregon.  We arrived in Terrebonne at 2:30 p.m. and love the area they live in.  It is in the high desert area of Oregon.   Aunt Kit's garden is done for the season, but she still has a few strawberries about ready to pick.  It is really a pretty place.  The yard is almost surrounded with rocks they have dug out of the yard.  It is still a work in progress, but looking great and is very evident they have put many hours of work into it.  We could see Broken Top, The Three Sisters, Mt. Washington, Black Butte, Three Fingered Jack, and Mt. Jefferson from Aunt Kit's front porch.  Just beautiful view!


Marmalade's Side of the Story

Are we there yet?  Yea, we are!!!!!  We are!!!!!

Aunt Kit thought I was just the cutest thing.  She has always loved animals and gave me many hugs.  Sorry, Sidney.  I really needed a hug.  Aunt Kit and Uncle Mike have a really nice place, but it has two BIG dogs.  They didn't even mind me being there getting all their hugs.  I like Oregon.  I was glad to get out of the car, but I heard a rumor of another road trip in something they called an RV.  That sounds like something the doctor might order.  I may be in trouble!

Aunt Kit liked the wine bottle Wyne Chyme we brought them.  Go figure.  She seems alot like Nonnie.  She acts wild about flowers and animals and stuff like that, just like Nonnie.
