| Newport, Oregon |
Well, here it is several months after my last post. The Traveleze went on a big adventure to Newport and along the Oregon coast in September. My good friends Tracy and Christian went with me and we had a lot of fun. I even managed to take them past our old cabin on the coast in Waldport and show them where I spent my summers and weekends as a kid.

Right now the Traveleze is safe undercover and is plugged in and is being heated through the winter. The low temperature the other night was ZERO and we have had snow on the ground almost since Christmas.

My friends at Flyte Camp have done several TV programs and they keep finding vintage treasure after treasure to restore.
I did manage to snap a few pictures of the Packard in the snow. I backed the car out of the garage about 11:30 at night. The temperature was around 19 degrees and with the camera set on a night setting on a tripod I was able to get some pretty neat shots. I really wanted to back the trailer out of it's resting place but I figured it might be a bit difficult to get back in with the snow.

Winter has a firm grip on Central Oregon and the days of camping with the trailer are a long ways off. I'm already signed up for two vintage rallies this summer and I'm sure there will be a few more opportunities that will show up.
