Go West young man (well in our case East)
Although this chronicle is a little belated, here are a few pictures of our journey from Vancouver B.C. to our new home in Albuquerque NM. The first part of trek took us along parts of the Oregon trail and we found a wonderful interpretive center in Baker City, OR. We highly recommend it if you are traveling that way. Torben climbed onto real period wagons, gazed into the distance, and with a determined jaw and outstretched finger said "Go West, Young man, Go West!" Too bad he was pointing south, but maybe he was trying to throw off the cops who might have been chasing us from Pendleton, OR where Torben vomited in the pool turning it into a fruit cocktail. At the center, we also examined the actual wagon ruts of the trail which still exist and toured the wonderful museum about the Oregon trail.
