arbara, Despite the rainy forecast this morning I drove from Newport on the Oregon coast to Hood River and went from sunny, hot and muggy to sunnier, hotter and muggier in Hood River, with only a few raindrops along the way. At eight o'clock tonight it was 71 and beautiful here. Predicting the weather in Oregon seems to be a very inexact science, and I think any time of year you just take your chances (and keep a raincoat tucked away in your trunk).<g> Beth Johnston Rob Lewis wrote: > Hello listers....I was hoping to drive up from Ogden, Utah to Portand, > driving along the beatiful Columbia River from Pendleton, and have watched > your weather here on the internet.
