Hello from Grants Pass, Oregon!

Well, I finally pried myself loose from my uncle's house near Lake Ki and Arlington, Washington, and got on the road early this morning.  Except for a lengthy detour to eat lunch and (simultaneously) view Mt. St. Helens from Hoffstadt Bluffs Visitor Center, I came more or less straight down I-5 today, arriving at Grants Pass a little after eight p.m.  No photos from the hotel this time... a few from Hoffstadt Bluffs will have to suffice.  There was also some spectacular scenery -- beautiful, tree-covered mountains -- the last hour before I got to Grants Pass, but I don't have photos of that. 

By the way, the veggie burger I ordered at the Hoffstadt Bluffs Cafe was one of the two best from this trip!  They make their own.  The salad and huckleberry tea were great, also! 

The exhibits about the Spring, 1980, disaster were very informative, but I didn't get to read much of them.    

Toomorrow:  California!
