On The Road Again:Oregon Edition

-
Later today we begin out annual Oregon Shakespeare Festival trip (extended edition) with something a bit different. First we stop in Napa this evening for a concert by an old favorite, Judy Collins. Then on to the historic Benbow Inn and from there the Oregon Coast, Portland and, finally, the usual week in Ashland.

The most important part of my packing is to choose the pens and knives to accompany. Sharon packs more traditionally and Percy is ready. And, no, he does NOT come along. Rosa does.
Paul Rossi M800 and my JW Smith TAD Dauntless. These are my everyday carries, especially that knife.

These will be along too: Bexley Owners Club, Montblanc Medici, OMAS green arco, Pelikan Grand Place M800, Shirogorov F3 with bias cut copper LSCF handles, Torelli hammered copper and cumberland hard rubber "51" replica, Visconti Titanium Skeleton and William Henry B30 Lakewood

The cat is ready, but doomed to disappointment.

We took it from there and spent three days prowling the backroads and coming to love the area, enough so that we delayed our trip to York until after our return from Germany, in order to get a bit more time in that corner of England. So, what have we seen and done to warrant such enthusiasm? Our first stop Sunday afternoon was, in truth, still in Scotland, at Preston Mill and Dovecote or as they put it Phantassie Doocot. The mill, which seems to be a locally popular stopping and walking place, was located an easy half m
