The rest of 2110

September brought a large home ‘to do’ list with some search and rescue stuff mixed in.

October took us to the Owahee Desert (pronounce the same as Hawaii) for some UTV riding and camping. We then drove to Seattle for a meeting with a lung specialist, Dr Raghu. The outcome of this meeting was a heads up on a potential lung transplant for Betsy. She has a serious lung issue and that will be a later post.

We stopped in Beaverton for some family time and our family grew by one. Violet has joined us. Golden Doodle and cute. 12 lbs at 2 months. We think she might grow a little.

Drove home for a few days and then to Garibaldi on the north coast for fish camp and good time with friends. Then south for a few days in the Newport area. Quick stops in Aumsville, Beaverton and then home.

November is Elk Camp time and it was different for all because of a visitor from England. One elk, one broken ankle (not us) and lots of good tequila. Fresh snow almost every day. Some more SAR rescue stuff and then turkey time in Cove. Did our first oil fried turkey, and then one on the Traeger BBQ. Taste test… Traeger won.

December found our son and family flying to Maui for Christmas, and we to the Salem area for time with that part of the family. We stayed in Aumsville (tornado city) and then on to Lincoln City for a few days. Stopped in Beaverton for two nights and then the icy drive to home (Cove).
