Mixture of trip to Florence:May 2009


Rocky Mountains--hidden by the wind turbine farms.
I-80.

Fog in Wy. was dense. Many fields of turbines.

Amtrak--on the WA. side of the
Columbia River Gorge.

Baker City, Oregon-- a a gorgeous place to
spend the night.

Adele demos her carbon fiber walking sticks.

Had to make our first stop the north jetty. Stopped to
see Edith and Charlie but they were not home. Neither
was Ken. Bummer.


So much to miss about the coast.

Flocks of pelicans--finally got the second group. What
a gorgeous day on the beach.


Kathy loves the beach--wind and all.

Kurtie loves being at Woahink--we had it all to ourselves
for a Subway picnic.

Kurtie is just sooo Happy to be on the beach.


Adele recognized us the first day. Enlarge to see
the VW rear taillight.

Just another beautiful day on the Siuslaw River--Coast Guard
going out to practice on the bar but it was perfectly calm.

It's Mr. Men--flashing his cell phone--NOT!

So nice to be inside where it was warmer.


Last day of giggles and breakfast of scones from Sugar Shack,
Reedsport. Thank you Adele and Men for letting us crash
and enjoy your hospitality even though Adele had lost
her voice.

Every ride is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l--GOD made it so.


Ugliest church--ever!

Gotta hurry those thunderheads are building up and moving
this way!



Lazy cormorant sitting on the dam waiting for the fishermen
to reel in their catches.

This is green for the high plains desert around us but it will
get better as the trees leaf-out and the reeds turn green.

Rocky Mountain locoweed in its purest form--white.

Along the bike path at Aurora Resevoir.

Sailboats, Chinooks and Cormorants


Another beautiful day to ride or do just about anything.

Buckley Chinooks.

Double-Crested Cormorants (?) -- I need to ask Adele--wish I had more zoom!
The leaves are finally starting to show.

Blizzards


Winter wonderland but it's April 20. The snow stopped
at Smokey Hill Road.

Where did that snowball go?

Good ole Aurora--just dump it on the sidewalk!

Sutherland's car collection circa 1980



So much curly brown hair.

Don't get Kath in the picture!

There's that slender young Kurt--drooling.





A ride in a Dino. 1980 cars on Valley HWY (I-25)--close
to rush hour. Not many folks lived that far south of the
tech center so not much traffic.

I told you, Frank, don't take my picture!
Who's that dark haired thin guy?

Bird cage

Kurt's Favorite Car


Ahhhh--Kurt should have kept that one!
