Get Yourself to Oregon
Gas is closing in on $4 a gallon, so you’d better make each drop count. That means enjoying some scenery along the way. Dark Roasted Blend has listed two roads in Oregon in part 1 of their series, Most Beautiful Roads of the World. One of them, down the Columbia River Gorge, I travel on a fairly regular basis. When I have time, I get out, take some pictures, and just enjoy the place where I live. Even DRB admits:
Oregon is a state that has everything California and Washington states have - ocean, rainforests, mountains and flower displays - but feels somehow cozier and more user-friendly, perhaps due to the more laid-back attitude of those who live there.
Where is it worth $4 a gallon for you to drive to?

Thanks for the link to that article, Rick.
When we decided it was time to get out of Florida, the PNW was on our short list. It seems like the best of both worlds with the ocean and the mountains and all four seasons.

My wife and I will be coming up to Seattle, WA Thursday night through Monday afternoon to stay with her niece. We’ll visit Portland, OR on Saturday to see her other niece (they’re sisters) and have a cook out. Looks like we’ll see part of it between Longview and Portland. I’m taking my digital camera and 4 2Gig memory cards (one for each day so I don’t have to take my laptop and download nightly). It’s gonna be great!
