The first leg

The first leg of our journey actually didn't include us. Matt's parents came down to Newberg with a trailer and loaded up all our stuff and took it to Idaho. We're hoping that what happened on their way home was not an omen for the rest of our trip. Apparently one of the tires on the trailer blew out close to Hermiston, OR. Nothing was open because it was Memorial day, and AAA wouldn't cover it because it was on the trailer. Eventually they were able to upgrade their membership to include the trailer and they found a Wal-Mart where they bought two new tires. We will try to update with pictures of the trailer soon.
