Thanks, I was hoping it could be a one day outing, too far north and I can't
go. Anyone else in CA?

Dusty, if you want a half-way stop either coming or going, you can have the
spare room at our place - we're about 10 miles off I-5 south of Eugene. ML

I would like to go and can bring Scout. He is doing quit well but he looks
so longingly at me when I get in the truck.

Hi Group!
I have Damian (Jennifer's litter of 13) and Tessa (from Laura Lee)
and live near Corvallis, Oregon.
We would LOVE an outing to meet everybody!
It will need to be a weekend since I since work (4 more months until
I retire!!) or summer, but the dogs and I are definitely IN!
