Great news Allen!
We have to go through Bend tomorrow, fueling up at Costco, on our way to Sublimity to pick up the Kawasaki Ridge and Snow Plow.
Then we have to go back into Bend on Thursday (unless they lose it) to pick up the Snow Blower.

Belated good morning Oregon and everyone everywhere else. 23 this morning, and so far after some errands it’s up to 30.
Picking up the Ridge XR & snow plow yesterday was a bust and we still don’t have it. They let us know when we were 20 miles from the dealership that their ‘Technician’ was wrong and the Blade they had doesn’t fit the mount. We won’t be able to pick it up.
Time, wear & tear, fuel and a 410 mile round trip waisted. I’m a very unhappy camper.
In the meantime the Snow blower has made it to Portland. What worries me is that the tracking shows that at 0741 this morning it was ‘out for delivery’ in Portland. I hope that means it left a central distribution center in PDX for delivery in the Bend Store…the Saga continues.
