Trails - Selling

Another day of selling finished!

We walked to Powell's Book Store when the show closed. It was about a mile from our motel so it didn't take long. On the way back, all the "clubs" were open and long lines were on the sidewalk waiting to get in. What a treat! We saw the Zombie Prom where the people had on zombie make-up and prom clothes. Lots of street people here but everyone is friendly.

We sell for a half day tomorrow, break down and head out for Pendleton, our first stop on the trip to Albuquerque.

The knitters are out in Portland and love our 2 and 4 ply 50/50 silk/merino. There are not many spinners at the show and they have no spinning classes. Things might change today as the Saturday crowd arrives.

We went to Stanfords last night with Morgaine from Carolina Homespun and Takako from Habu for dinner. It's a steakhouse but every one had fish. It was excellent!

The weather is holding. Sun's out, probably in the 60s. 

Trails - Camping

Oregon is very beautiful, the lupine and dogwood are blooming but it's wet, I'm a desert rat at heart.

We are off this morning to set up our booth, selling starts tonight.

Trails - Camping

The road to Oregon was long, uneventful and wet. We left late, per usual, got to our first camp site in Redding after dark. We did get an early start from Redding but the speed limit in Oregon is 65 and it was raining so driving was slow.

It cleared in time for me to take a bad picture of Mt Shasta. It was covered in clouds and snow. Very beautiful in real life.

Trails - Packing

All packed and ready to get an early start in the morning. Next stop Redlands, CA.

Trails - Packing

Today's the dread day! Packing enough yarn and stuff into the truck for 3 Conferences plus the camping gear, clothes and food. We will be on the road until June 4 or 5, first stop Portland for the Knit and Crochet Show.
