The first night out, away from the city I realized how long it has been since I had a chance to enjoy nature. Here in the Oregon Cascade Mountains the stars are so bright and the Milky Way so clear. There is an overwhelming feeling of peace and tranquility.
I have stopped at a sno-park near the town of Crescent Lake Jct. to get organize after the last minute rush to vacate my Eugene based trailer space. I chose this location because of a little tavern here that serves the best broasted chicken. Each time I cross the Cascades, I make it a point to stop at Manley‘s.
There is a heat wave down in the low lands so I will take my time up here in the highlands. It is a great feeling when you have NO place to go and ALL the time to get there!
I got out my old GPS I bought back in 1995. Back then a GPS didn’t have roads but it can tell you where you’re standing. If you know the GPS co-ordinates of your destination it will get you there as the crow flies. From now on I’ll include my GPS co-ordinates at the end of my posts so you GPS hounds can follow my exhaust.
Until the next post: Next time you are away from the city lights, on a clear night, take a moment, relax and enjoy a Milky Way.

Hi Mike. Left you a VM and sent an EM. trying to schedule trip to Wisconsin in August to see new Granddaughter but I don't want to miss you either. based on this blog, looks like as of Monday you were still in Cresent Lake. At that pace you won't get to our neighborhood till 2010. Give me a call.
