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

We're in northern lower Michigan and it's cold and raining. The temp tonight is supposed to get down to mid-30's and a cold weekend forecast. Many of our reservations for the weekend have cancelled. No hookups here, so most would have no heat.

Uneventful is good.

Well the trip was uneventful, it did snow a bit near the summit, but road was clear. Temp in bend area was 27 degrees. Clear and sunny

May be too late for you this morning, but Santiam Pass has bare pavement. We've had snow here this morning, but it's on and off.....was sticking, but is now melting.

Doug, back here on the Eastern Shore (Delmarva), it's mid-80's, maybe some showers.

Why would you go over Tombstone pass? That's the long way from Salem. We live in Salem (Keizer) and the normal way is on US22 through Detroit. No snow there. Snow at the Santiam junction. Temps should warm up a bit tomorrow and the pavement should just be wet. We're taking off Friday for Suttle Lake. Fingers crossed on that. I did mention to the wife last night while turning on the pellet stove that normally we never use it this late in the year. Hey at least diesel is cheaper than reg. Haha.

Yea, you caught me, been a while since i last made that trip, thought 22 was the worst of the two, and that 20 came out of Salem. Still a fare amount of late Spring snow in the Cascades!

We don't plan any trips to Crater Lake early in the summer. One year we visited on the 4th of July weekend and they had just finished digging out the road around the rim of the crater.

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.

I think Crater Lake is about a July visit this year! Roads leading to it are all packed snow right now.

The Oregon coast is great any time of year.

Heck yeah it is, it is totally obvious to me by looking at the price of go juice at the pumps. :S :B
