Jon, that is truely fantastic. I need to start doing a few of those same things. Love taking those one day drives, seeing the sights.

 As I recall your area also has some interesting coal mining history?

 We do have some allmost cool stuff here to see. I am only an hour, or a little over, drive from the Pacific ocean. Along the coast, there is some interesting history. There is a new museum I need to see that is supposed to be dedicated to the Tillamook burn. I have'nt been to the Tillamook cheese factory since I was in grade school. I have been a Tillamook cheesehead for my whole life. Love the sharp chedders and the swiss cheese from Tillamook.

 I hope you and Don can take the time to do more of this. It sounds like you really enjoyed yourselves.
