We dusted off the Airstream on Thursday morning and headed down to the Willamette Valley wine country (only a little over an hour from our house in Portland) to meet up with some friends for the weekend. When we got to our RV storage unit, everything was just as we'd left…

This morning we did our usual hike in the Arboretum (about 4 miles), but we figured we should really get a bike ride in too, since we're doing the 36 mile Bridge Pedal route next Sunday (one week from today) and we really haven't been riding that much lately. So…

Well here we are camping in our own back yard again! Or…30 minutes from our backyard anyway (Champoeg State Park), and since we can't keep our Airstream at home (driveway too steep, nowhere to turn around) we'll have to settle for this. Sucks, doesn't it? Oh wait, it doesn't. We're…

We headed out to grab some lunch (and check on the progress of our bike tweaks) and ended up at Super Taco over on West 11th, just down the block from Bike Friday. Yelpers said it was good. Really good. Like, "OMG I haven't found good Mexican food in Eugene…

We did a long drive today (6+ hours) and arrived safely in Ashland, Oregon. We're at Emigrant Lake and it's lovely. It just started sprinkling so I think we'll head out for some groceries and a little exploring.
