    Hi Sheri and Curtis! Amazing pictures and scenery!

    Hope you're having a fun and safe trip.

    Unfortunately my parents never made it to Columbia as we had a family death.

    Looking forward to seeing you guys on your return to Bend. Lucky you two, ya missed out on the big snow.

    Safe travels! Looking forward to more updates as well.
