Mini-vacation at Eagle Crest. Day One.
\nTravel. <\/p>\n

Rick drove. Thank you, Rick. There was snow from Mongold on, but the roads were totally clear for much of the way. It was all lovely until HooDoo, and then…uh…did someone forget to plow everything? Still, it was mostly fine. Packed snow. A lot of it. It was a thirsty kind of drive, so we had to hit the liquor store and a brewery before we went to the resort. <\/p>\n

We did our booze and snack shopping, and pulled into Eagle Crest at 4:29. Approximately 20 yards behind KelBel and Diane, which was impressive. We could never have done that on purpose. <\/p>\n

First beers were in glasses at 4:58. <\/p>\n

Great dinner, thanks to Kel and Diane. Music and Mexican Train after. We might have had some beer, and maybe some bourbon. Sometimes that happens. We did some laughing. That always happens<\/p>\n

There were Ginsu knives. <\/p>\n

A trip to Boneyard, where I may have sprained my wallet a bit. <\/p>\n

There were a lot of pictures taken from the back seat of Chelle’s car. <\/p>\n

It’s November, and Central Oregon is a Winter Wonderland. I am pretty sure it was arranged for my birthday, so thanks for that. <\/p>\n

The alarm clock just went off in my bedroom. It is midnight. <\/p>\n

Happy Saturday, y’all!<\/p>\n
