THE WAY ACROSS

Picture
We are officially on the road again! Nine months is a long time to be away from Buffalo but Washington and Oregon have been calling for several years. The weather there is best in late summer and it doesn't make sense to drive there and back, then leave again for winter so we've planned this epic journey to make the most of our drive west.
