We've been plagued by wind the last couple of days. It was so windy when we got to Silverton, OR last night (Nov 21st) that the cats were out for maybe 5 minutes before scrambling inside the trailer. This morning when they went out, between the wind, the huge puddles and dogs and people, neither cat was out more than 10 minutes. It's been a challenge to have "good outsides" lately.We've decided there are a lot of sheep in Oregon!! Fields and fields of sheep, which is a very pleasant change from corn... We had more rain today (Nov 22nd) as we followed the Columbia River. As a matter of fact, we went through such a torrential downpour that we couldn't see the road for a couple of seconds - TWICE! Scary moments, but we drove through it ok and were relieved to see the break in the clouds and daylight again. We're staying near Connell, Washington tonight.
Sammy is acting like he has a cold (who can blame him after 4 days of pouring rain and wet feet!) and Tawny is just plain restless. She howled in the vehicle most of the day today, which is very odd for her. We had to make 2 stops to let her out to do her business. She has figured out that she can get in a good walk before she pees, to maximize her experience. Smart girl, but makes for long kitty stops! Despite that, both cats are feeling the difference in the weather and not being able to get or stay outside as much as they have become accustomed to. We're a little concerned about what happens when they get back to Calgary and have to deal with Winter!!!
We're going to drain the trailer tomorrow and make a run for home. We will be staying in a hotel tomorrow night - likely in Montana, and we hope to be home Monday, before the snow storm hits on Wednesday.
