GOODBYE

THIS WILL BE "MY" LAST BLOG.  IT HAS BEEN A BLAST.  WE TRAVELED 8340 MILES.  I DON'T KNOW WHERE OR WHEN OUR NEXT ADVENTURE WILL BE BUT WE WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED.  ROBERT WILL BE ADDING HIS FOOT NOTES NEXT.  AFTER THAT WE ARE GOING TO HAVE THE BOOK PUBLISHED.

LOVE YOU ALL,  KITTY MAY

CONDEMNED

ONE LAST THING FROM ME ABOUT THE TRIP.  WHILE WE WERE AT SKINNY DICKS IN FAIRBANKS WE BOUGHT THIS SIGN TO PLAY A LITTLE JOKE ON MY MOMS BAR.

IT SAYS:

"MAYBE IF YOU WEREN'T SUCH FILTHY PIG DOGS WE WOULDN'T HAVE TO DO THIS BUT YOU LEAVE US NO CHOICE.  YOU ARE VILE AND DISGUSTING AND FOR THAT MATTER YOU'RE UGLY TOO!''

IN THE BOTTOM LEFT HAND CORNER WHERE THE ORDANANCE NUMBER IS IT HAS  " G.U.R.SO.DUM.

SO WE POSTED THIS ON THE DOOR AND HID IN THE BUSHES WAITING FOR BECKY TO OPEN UP IN THE MORNING.

BECKY'S ABOUT TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK.

WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED.

TIME FOR A LAUGH.  NOW WE HAVE TO CALL MOM.  TIME FOR HER TO BE SHOCKED.

SHE RIPPED IT OFF THE DOOR.  WELL THEY ALL HAD A LAUGH AND WE GOT A FREE BREAKFAST OUT OF IT.

PARTY TIME

SO THE DAY OF THE PARTY WE COOK A BUNCH OF HILIBUT, STEAMER CLAMS AND OYSTERS.  WE HAD A FEW FRIENDS, FAMILY AND NEIGHBORS COME OVER AND HELP US CELEBRATE COMING HOME.

ROBERTS STEP DAUGHTER AND HER HUSBAND JON CAME DOWN FROM MADRAS.

FIRE PIT

WHEN WE GOT HOME I JUST MENTION TO ROBERT THAT IT WOULD BE COOL TO HAVE A NICE LITTLE FIRE PIT FOR THE PARTY.   WELL...............YOU KNOW ROBERT.

WHAT AN AWESOME PIT IT'S GAS AND THE FLAME IS ADJUSTABLE.  TOOO COOL.

YEAH OREGON!!!!!!!!!!!

HEADING SOUTH ON HWY 101. WE GET STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF A PARADE IN DOWNTOWN SEASIDE.  AND DECIDE WE STILL DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FISH.  SOOOO.....WE HEAD T0WARD WINCHESTER BAY TO GET 7 DOZED OYSTERS.  NOW THERE'S A PARTY.  ON THE WAY WE SEE THESE COOL SILOS. 

BACK IN AMERICA

WE DECIDED WE DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH FISH TO TAKE HOME SO WE HEAD TO THE COAST.  WE GO THROUGH LONGVIEW, WASHINGTON TO A LITTLE TOWN CALLED SKAMAKUWA.  THERE WE STOP AND VISIT ROBERTS LATE WIFES COUSINS CHERYL AND MAURY MOER.  PLEASE EXCUSE THE SPELLING IF IT IS WRONG.  DELIGHTFUL COUPLE OWN AN ANTIQUE STORE.  WE FELT SOOOOO STUPID THAT WE FORGOT TO TAKE PICTURES. 

IT'S A LONG BRIDGE INTO OREGON.  ONCE WE GET HERE WE HEAD TO THE DOCKS.  THERE WE BUY 100 POUNDS OF TUNA..  (ALMOST OUT OF CANNED TUNA AT HOME)  25 POUNDS OF STEAMER CLAMS AND 3 CRAB.  LOOKS LIKE WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A PARTY.  WE STUFFED EVERYTHING INTO THE BATH TUB AND COVERED IT WITH ICE.
