This is the end of May, Memorial Day weekend, Right?

Well just did a trip check for the drive tomorrow from Portland to Bend, OR.
It really is May, not March right!

I just checking because This is the main highway from Salem, OR to Bend at Tombstone!



This is about 40 farther east.





Glad I haven't removed the chains from the 5er or the TV, and glad I have a 4X4!
  • Man I'm looking forward to some "COOL" days. It's been in the 80's & 90"s up here in Southeastern Michigan. Have to run the A.C. to sleep right. This weekend it's dropping back down to the high 60's.
    I was thinking we blew right through Spring and into hot summer.

    Happy trails,
  • It is still spring down here in the deep south too. Lows in the 60's each morning with highs in the mid 80's but it will warm up soon. I have always wondered why the English language has no punctuation marks to indicate sarcasm? Interesting isn't it?
  • We had plans of Crater Lake next week & driving the rim. Looking at the forecast, change of plans. We will head for the coast. Record cold has been with us ever since we started 6 weeks ago in MD.
  • yes next Monday is Memorial day
    next week end is the holiday weekend
    yup, mother nature is tough

    :) :) I'm in LaPine, just south of Bend. We've had snow off and on all day. :) The snow this time of year here will be incidental......nothing to worry about. If you plan a trek over the passes after 10:00 and before 4:00, you have an excellent chance of the roads being clear.......before and after those times will mean the wet pavement will ice up. Have a safe trip.


    Not worried about the trip, just amazed at the weather for this time of year.

    These were the driving conditions coming home from the coast in January of 2011, but at least it was "seasonal"! This is Highway 26 coming home from a long weekend at Nehalem Bay SP by Manzanita.

  • Man thats in the mountains and we have had a couple of nice cold fronts move through. Remember April was in the 70's and 80's.
