Day 14 - Corvallis, OR

Wednesday - We tool Hwy-20 from Bend, through Sisters, and Sweet Home to Corvallis. It was a beautiful drive though a little stressful. A Tundra pickup came around a corner about 1½ ft over the center line going way too fast. I swerved onto the shoulder just missing them. Other than that, no issues. 

We set up in the fairgrounds RV park, and since it’s Wednesday, I set up the JPC-12 antenna to try and participate in “Winlink Wednesday” again. I also tried this morning from Sun River but was unsuccessful. This evening, no problem. I even used the RMS station in Harlingen, TX. Propagation was decent. I tried FT8 on 40m as well but didn’t make any contacts. 

We visited with my mom for a bit and made arrangements to come over tomorrow.
