In July 2024 I booked a trip to Oregon to see family and friends. Unlike in some of the prior years, this year I chose to fly versus drive.

I visited Portland and McMinnville to see family. Then a friend and I drove down to Black Butte Ranch for to rendezvous with a few other friends for a long weekend of biking, hiking, playing pickleball and putt-putt golf, lounging poolside, and eating!
