Sorry I haven't posted for a bit.

I left Jackson on the 6th. I drove to Hood River, OR. It took 10 hours. Then I was in Hood River for a day, drove to Portland the next day for dinner, then back to Hood River where I saw a sweet lightning storm and then got talked into going to Portland for the night the next night. But I wanted to be back for church in Hood River in the morning so we got up early and drove to Hood River. Then after church I drove to Allyn, WA which is near Seattle. Then I drove up to Bellingham, WA today. I think that I'm spending the night up here tonight then headed back to Hood River tomorrow then onto Eastern Oregon, Wallowa Lake region.
Good news is that I like driving and my dad gave me a book on CD to listen to -- The Shack. It's good so far.
Bad news is that my car is smoking. Not from under the hood though. eeesh. I hate cars. not really, but a little.
