Why Oregon : When I first calculated the time ...Re. Why Oregon : When I first calculated the time it would take me to complete the virtual walk it came to almost five years. I decided that if I was to undertake a project of such scale I might as well visit some of the places I had always wanted to visit. In addition to many places in California, I had always wanted to see both Portland and Seattle. So I decided to head north before heading east. And then Cousin Dave asked me to call in and see a lake just over the border in Saskatchewan his father used to take him fishing at. My son wanted me to call in at Pittsburgh to get him a Pittsburgh Penguins shirt and a number of my American blogging friends have invited me to virtually call in and see them. Thus the somewhat circuitous route. But, there again, if you want to travel "as the crow flies" travel with a crow and not with a virtual dog. There, you see, it all makes sense now doesn't it.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-77196752366645452032010-05-20T08:17:03.893+01:002010-05-20T08:17:03.893+01:00Alan, let me help you make your mind up about cons...Alan, let me help you make your mind up about consolidation.

Or are you trying to avoid the desert in Nevada and Utah?
