Matt, you, your family, your pets, your firearms, are welcome anytime at
the Hupy household. We are 5 miles off Interstate 5, midway between Eugene
and Portland. If you are making the grand tour, please stop in or at least
call when you pass through. We could do overnight hookup, meals included,
or just coffee. Lots of GMC CASCADERS along your route, particularly in the
Olympic peninsula where you are headed. California? They don't know whether
to crap or go blind. Goofy should be governor, he would be an improvement.
