The scanner was plugged in yesterday. I figured that I might as well find a print for a blog entry.We're considering taking a weekend road trip. I'm off and Jay doesn't work on Monday or Tuesday either. Perhaps, we'll head down to Portland, OR and swing back through the Cascade Mountains. We've only stopped in that city as a rest stop on trips down I-5 and have never stayed long enough to look around. Portland is just over the border on the other side of Washington State and is about 508 kilometers (315 miles) due south. The distance is perfect as when we return it'll be exactly the time to change my truck's timing belt.
I would have far less mileage on the Ranger had it not been for our cross-Canada trip. We took seven weeks in 2001 and camped in a tent. Our goal was to reach the other side of Canadian Route 1. It was also possible to cruise through most every major Canadian city along the way.
So when searching for a picture, I looked for us at Cape Spear, Newfoundland. That is most easterly point in North America. In fact, in the photo we were actually over 1200 kilometers closer to England than New Westminster!
