Twin Rocks Road Trip. . . Finally. . .

Last weekend (Dec 2-4), we hit the road again for another quiz trip. Here are 6 of the 13 people that made the long, long, long (long) journey to Twin Rocks, OR:

I realize it isn't that long of a journey, say in comparison to driving back east, but I wasn't looking forward to a trip of any distance, much less one that would take 10-12 hours in one day with a packed vehicle.  Especially after what happened the last time we traveled this road. . .

The weather was perfect for this trip, however, with clear roads, sunny skies and just a trace of snow as we went over the Blue Mountains. . .

After we safely passed through the pass, I relaxed and enjoyed the rest of the drive.  It didn't even bother me (much) when we took a little detour through downtown Portland in 5:00 traffic. . .

Steph had been counting down the days for a couple of weeks due to the fact that she was very anxious to see someone at Twin Rocks that she had been missing terribly.  She wasn't very happy when we stopped for dinner at Denny's just 20 minutes away from our destination. . .

We were all a little tired by that time. . .

We still made it to Twin Rocks before 8 p.m. and Steph JUMPED FROM MY MOVING VEHICLE for this:

And I'm pretty sure it was worth it. . .  Samantha was a VERY welcome sight after such a very long drive!! 

To be continued. . . (ooh, the suspense.  Not.)
