Well I sold my place. Cash deal for more than I was asking. That was great. The down side is we have to be out by October 5. Haven't been able to find the right place in the area we plan to move to yet. But we still have the place the wife owned before we got married. It is just about exactly half way to the area we plan to move to. So we are going to go camp there until we get a new ranch bought. The trouble is the fire in the Columbia Gorge. I-84 on the Oregon side of the river is shut down completely with no projected opening date. Highway 14 on the Washington side is a small 2 lane. It is closed to all commercial traffic and vehicles over 10,000 pounds. I know they did that to keep all the I-84 truck traffic from going that way. My pickup and trailer weigh in at about 10,000 pounds empty. The alternate routes going over the mountain passes are 2 or 3 hours longer each way. Difficult to move 200 miles one pickup load at a time. The fires have caused a lot of problems this year but who would have thought that this would be a problem.
