On the road again - Clarkston
Learning all about Satellite Internet and Wifi magic... Cool stuff but they really need to pave the road.

Pelican Pub
Always trust your friendly neighborhood car salesman for a good lead: Geoff at I-5 Toyota suggests getting the Brewers Sampler at the Pelican Pub. It's on Kiwanda Point in Pacific City, Oregon. That sounds like a good excuse to head down the coast, back to Tillamuck and beyond, after the Seaside hamfest in June.

Geoff says all the food is great and suggests starting light and going dark on the sampler. Sounds pretty good to me.

Oh - and we just got the second oil change on the new car. The miles are adding up fast.
