Attempt

Sean and I have started exploring Ghost Towns in the Pacific Northwest (um, or just Oregon.) It's a fantasic activity. I think Ghost Towns are fascinating. I really want to take a few extra days and drive into California and see some old gold and oil digging towns. Some of them still have some people living in them, which I think is wack and awesome at the same time. I mean... Living in a Ghost Town? What do you do? Can you get the internet there? (Or, is the Internet everywhere?) A couple weeks ago we went to two towns. One called Antelope and the other Shaniko. They were both out in sort of central/eastern/northern? Oregon. It was a long drive. We did a loop and ended up in Government Camp (it's at the base of Mt. Hood) where we stopped for "dinner" in some gross pub.
Last week Daddy visited Sean and I for a while. We had a great time. I didn't take many pictures of that time, but Sean has several... Including some good shots of Dad smoking a hooka! hehehe
Anyhow... Here are some snap shots.

This is Mount Saint Helens from the side of the road. It looks all wack because I'm seeing it from a totally different side than I normally do.



This is a wind farm. It was really much prettier in real life.



GHOST PICNIC!



When Daddy visited me, we went downtown one day. We sat in the square and watched a guy do Ice Sculptures.




When Daddy was here he got to play a lot of music with his friend Sam. One morning they played at a Cafe in Northeast Portland. (Sam is on the left, Dad is on the right.)
