May 10th, up the mountains

-

 We took off first thing this morning to do our annual thing, go over the mountains. The snow was not a deep as some years, but the temp at the top of Washington Pass was only 49 degrees.



We got back to Winthrop and had dinner with Emele at the Old School House. Great burgers and beer. I was awesome to see Emele. We haven't seen her since 2019...

Trying to take advantage of my senior pass before it runs out in April. Some parks are not taking reservations yet. My research will start looking at the private sector, and looking for next fall and winter.

We did our usual trips to the south to Depot Bay and Newport, then to the north (so we can have dinner at The Schooner). I got a call from the realtor on Thursday and they want to close on Tuesday... So back home on Friday to finish up the last minute items. It looks like we maybe getting close....
