If all goes as planned, we’re up on a PNW mountain today while you’re reading this. The drive out to Washington State was smooth as a Deer Valley groomer, though the pain of fuel prices in Oregon caused us to scream in agony at the most we’ve ever paid for a fillup. Worth it for us because we get to haul our camper around and stay in comfort just about anywhere, but still, you pay prices like that and you find yourself thinking “I’d better skip that dinner out and make a salad…or go on a 3 day fast?”
Oregon, where the fuel is pricy and you too can recycle a beer bottle.
The portahut (tiny house) to beat all, seen in Oregon. This has to be the most awesome homebrew RV I have ever seen. Pretty sure it had a hot tub scabbed onto the back. Looked like it was made all from scrounged materials.
I like the first view of Cascades you see from HWY 90, and was amused by this demonstration that even renewables have a price, be it the materials they're built from or the sacrifice of a view line.
