On to Oregon

We left Seattle and headed southeast across Washington - first in rain over the Snoqualamie pass; the farther east we went the drier it got. We saw two deer, hay fields and vineyards. The driving was easy and soon we crossed the Columbia river into Oregon. We looked for traces of the old Oregon trail, saw the Snake river, and stopped in the town of Ontario, where we set our watches an hour ahead as it's the Mountain time zone.
