Going on a Bender with Carolyn and Paul

We did it. We arrived on the east coast last evening. We had a unavoidable delay around noon yesterday. Interstate closed for an airlift from an accident.  New York State looked so beautiful. Rolling hills, lush from a wet spring.  Taking our dogs and Diane's Mabel to a lake today. WET DOG 

We had a marvelous time at scheelraiser camp area. 

What a day. Was misty in Portland. We DID go over mount good highway. SNOW. But was brief. Lovely ride to Bend. Headed east along state highway 20. Encountered snow showers. Cleared up as we got closer to Burns. Got to our campground around 4:30. Cold out. 

 This is the trip eve evening. Done with work, done with all the errands. Time for a step 2. Time for some refreshment.  Here is one of my latest favs. Bright , of course refreshing but with a wonderful addition of a hint of lime and a back mouth feel of chillies. Not too extreme. Goes well with any foods.  More on Portland Cider Company. They just one a big award internationally for their original gold variety. They make many varieties, I'm bringing their 'Kinda Dry' sixer on the trip.  When in the PNW look for these
