Something Tells Me He Wants Candy

Before you travel with us, you need to get a brief glimpse of 2000 miles in a van with Gabrian.

Now He Wants A Popsicle

I only recorded a minute, but if you can picture this chant lasting 30-45 minutes, you've got the general idea. Ready to go on a trip?

Oregon Caves National Monument

 

We stopped at the Oregon Caves National Monument for a tour. Unfortunately, the camera battery died, and this is the only picture we got! (Thank you Matthew, for the generator so we could recharge that battery!)

Campsite - North

 

This was before the rain, before the tarp went up.
The campsite was beautiful. Cold and damp, but green and beautiful. It was private with thick greenery on 3 sides. The other side was the road, where the ice cream man came by twice a day, no matter how cold it was. Even Gabrian quickly learned what "ding, ding, ding" signified.

This little stream ran through our campsite.

The Conor-Man

Does Gabrian's attire tell you something about the temperature?
Actually, it was really cold at the camp and always significantly warmer at the beach or out on the trails.

We Made It!

 

First beach experience!
