Trip to the Total Eclipse. Tacoma to Aztec, New Mexico

Preparing for a trip in the R-Pod is stressful. I'm always so sure that I will forget something important, even though I know that we can always buy what we need if it gets left at home. I also like to make sure the truck is clean, especially the inside, since we will be spending a lot of time in it. This time we got some medication from the vet to calm Cedar down for the first couple of travel days. He gets even more stressed than I do! The meds worked a treat! He didn't throw up once. Somehow all my stress disappears as soon as we turn out of the driveway. At that point, I've prepared all I can, and I can just enjoy the journey. It's a feeling of freedom and anticipation that never gets old for me.

Cedar is not free, but he did better this time.

Our first night at the Columbia River Gorge Discovery Center.


The museum was terrific.

Trail along the Columbia River.

I have no idea what this is, but it is lovely.

Ready for the wind.

Loving the views along the gorge.

Pendleton viewpoint. We always stop here.

Nice farm.

I love the profusion of flowers.

The moon is in this shot, but faint.

Snow on the distant mountains.
