Oregon Trail

Mostly driving today. Actually, we had one last visit with Liz and Jacob, over breakfast. Then we filled out and mailed Melissa's apartment application and deposit. Then we drove.

It's a bit of a nuisance driving with the car so full you can't see out the back window. I have packing the car down to a science. Everything has its place. And I'm getting faster at packing the car. It's still a bit annoying that we have so much stuff, though.

Much of the drive, especially along I-84, follows the Oregon Trail. And it was quite a feeling to return to Oregon after having been gone for a while.

We stopped in Fruitland, Idaho, just over the border (Snake River) from Ontario, Oregon, to visit Mary's sister and brother-in-law. They gave us a nice homemade Mexican dinner, in honor of our upcoming assignment. We didn't stop to see Mary's mother here in Ontario, because we visited Charie and Bill so long. But that's on the plan for tomorrow.
