The Spruce Goose
We left Astoria this morning and drove south with a stop for the night in Albany, OR. On the way, we stopped in McMinnville, OR to check out Howard Hughes giant wooden airplane, the Spruce Goose. It was pretty big. It took two photos to fit it in. Notice the lady on the landing area outside the doorway to the plane for scale.
This part of Oregon is known for it's wineries and we saw a ton of vineyards along the way. It was a beautiful area! After the stop at the Evergreen Aviation Museum, we relied on the Delorme software to get us back to I-5. At one point, it tried to take us over a ferry! Luckily, we changed course and didn't go too far out of the way. We stopped in Albany, OR for the night. That is just south of Salem. Neither of us felt like cooking so we ordered out chinese food and had the biggest egg roll I have ever seen. It looked more like a burrito, but...Yum, it was good! Anyway, next stop, Prospect, OR and Crater Lake. I'm so excited!
