The Red Writer is on the road again - at last

 BRIGHAM CITY, Utah - The Red Writer made a local foray in early May, a trip to Rancho Cordova to help celebrate Anne Fitzgerald Allen's birthday. You can ask her which one it was. But it was great fun, even though I declined the opportunity to don roller skates for the main event.

But it all got me to get The Red Writer out of its secure Point Richmond storage, spend two days in Anne's driveway, then roll north along Highway 101 camping and eventually meeting up with the Admiral at Lincoln City, Oregon.  We had a great time here and the Ester Lee Motel which let me park The Red Writer in their lot. Gratis.

Today Biscuit and I launched our Eastward-Bound Tour (known informally as Biscuit and Michael's Excellent Adventure). We traveled from Scappoose to Pendleton, Oregon and then to Boise, Idaho yesterday with Admiral Fox. The three of us had a good time and did some serious shaking down of the trailer, enough shaking that Biscuit and I are confident of our plans to get to Watkins Glen before the end of June. Today Adm. Fox left the pack to fly back to Scappoose (for a crawdad boil, seriously) and we trundled across Idaho into Utah to land here. Tomorrow Rawlins, Wyoming is the goal.

This is our second night in a KOA campground/RV park. Why a KOA? Well, they are clean, well-run and the Internet actually works well. That's huge! Below are some photos from the first three days of this trek. You'll have to guess at what captions I would have added. I'll do that tomorrow. Right now Biscuit is gnawing on my leg so I fix his dinner. Best I listen.
