Walking near the bedroom, I heard these squeaky, puppy-like, sounds and found Oscar fast asleep, his feet occasionally twitching as he chased imaginary squirrels up imaginary trees. When he awoke, he said "Pete, I dreamed about wondrous things . . . places where the trees grow as big as sky scrapers and cars even drive through them! I saw tall, wide mountains all topped with white stuff and rivers with people standing in them catching fish - I think I saw YOU there! There are ocean drives where you see the beach with huge rocks, as big as houses and the waves crashing on them! There's a city with a space needle sticking into the sky and I saw some slow, slimy creatures called banana slugs and heard cayotes howling at the moon. There are so many new things to see and smells to smell . . . whatarewewaitingfor?!?!?!?!? Lets go again, Pete. REAL SOON!"By now, you know how insistent this dog can be. There'll be no peace until he sees the all things in his dreams and smells all the new smells. I guess we'll be on our way again . . . looks like we'll be northwest bound.

Hi Pete,
We enjoyed your postings on your recent trip. Looks like Ike missed San Antonio. Try to travel some on the coastal highway 101 in northern California, Oregon and Washington.

We plan to drive south along 101 to the Redwood Forest and do some camping amongst the towering giants. Oscar gets giddy just thinking about those BIGGGGGG trees. (Its that dog thing . . . )
