I flew out to Portland, Oregon, to meet up with Mel. Our plan was to pack his car and move him back east. I spent 5 days in Portland area with him before we left for Crater Lake. We hopped from park to park, spending a night or two in each. We drove the “Loneliest Road” across Nevada, through central Utah, and camped one last night in central Colorado before we headed east.
