We got off the ferry this morning and met Gary Smith for lunch. Due to facebook, we hooked up with Pat's father's family. Gary is Pat's first cousin that he has never met. They had a wonderful lunch catching up on the family, some amazing revelations and lots of good news. The best news is the longevity of Pat's two remaining uncles, Wilson and Ellisworth. Wilson is Gary's dad. We hope to reconnect with his other cousin, Roger who he hung out with when he was a kid on the farm in Nebraska. Roger lives in Nevada and we are headed in that direction. Tonight we are sleeping in Salem, Oregon...tomorrow the goal is Reno. It is such a challenge to face traffic. We sure appreciate our small town when we sat in the hours of traffic around rush hour Portland.
