Portland, OR to Ashland, OR

Hello everyone.  Jeremy here.  We are becoming routine travelers.  After breakfast, we pack up the van - everyone has their place from which to watch the scenery, and then we are off on a new day of adventure.  This morning it was cloudy and cool [+6 C] and we saw lots of city.  Portland is much larger than we imagined and the highway was very busy for a long time but finally we were in some mountains and then the sun came out.  In Ashland, OR tonight the Den Parents went out to dinner.  Den Dad told us it is a university town and the downtown was full of hippy-dippy shops and restaurants featuring things such as vegan wraps and organic bean soup.  We bears were glad to have room service honey burgers. Below are some shots we took along the way. 
Miles and miles of urban sprawl south of Portland, OR
Later, the sun came out and we saw some farm land.
Rudy said "It looks like everyone ordered well-done steaks!"
and then he laughed and laughed.  He thought he had made a joke??
Den Mom took over the driving and once again that meant more mountains.  She says the road is far from boring.

When these bikers passed us, Rudy yelled, "Go Helmets!"
And then he laughed and laughed.
Some times I worry about Rudy.  Good-night all - Jeremy
