To all of you great travelers, thanks for your good wishes. We bought a second home when we make our last trip to Oregon and it will be our primary depository of those things that we picked up on our travels. I named the house "Rivendell", that is the "Last Homey Place East of the Mountains" in Tolkien's tales of Middle Earth. It is our sanctuary and we are surrounded by ENTs and their kind, yet only blocks to family and healthcare providers.
If a couple of whitehaired folks honk and wave at you while your on the road in your RV, it's just us saluting you and wishing safe travels.
David and Sharon
