Goodbye Portland, Hello Washington

Hello! This is the first post of the Adventures of Team Colour! Goodness and Zm are our trail names for traversing the Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail.

Yesterday we held a House Cooling Open House and had many of our friends come by to send us off - this is the opposite of a House Warming and a fantastic way to empty one's cupboards and refrigerator!

Our dear friend Kirk came by to hang out and assist us with a whirlwind cleaning of the apartment today. It took us four more hours than we had anticipated to get out of town, but after taking that last load to storage, we stopped by for farewells with our neighbors downstairs. This photograph is the last one taken of us in Portland and I am holding Atlas, one of the best friends I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I waved and waved to her as we drove away in our new home, our car.

The drive to Washington was very pleasant, we missed all the traffic and even got to see some fireworks exploding over the Puyallup Fairgrounds to mark the first day of the Spring Fair. This made me so happy - felt like we were exactly on target. We arrived up in Auburn and had a short but full visit with Goodness' Dad, his wife, Grace, and her daughter, Holly. Looking to get up early for a 13 hour drive to Montana to Patrick and Lynn's place.
