Monday July 17, 2017 McMinnville, OR

Drove to the Bjornson Vineyard just North of Salem Oregon. Met the owner Mark Bjornson and had very nice visit at their new Tasting House (just opened 5 days ago) and toured the wine production operations. Had some unique wines as well as very good Pinot Noirs. Joined the Wine club and will get a case every Spring and Fall. The winery is on a high hill overlooking a valley of vineyards with the snow capped Mount Hood in the distance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Went back to the RV and spent the afternoon at the Evergreen Air & Space Museum which is next to our RV park and even have a walking path from the park to the museum. The Museum is huge with a building dedicated to Aviation and another large building dedicated to Space. The Aviation building has planes from the Wright Brothers through World War 2 including Howard Hughes “Spruce Goose” which is 100 yards wide and a little over that long. The Space Museum picks up after the War and all the development of Rockets, Jets, Sputnik, and through the Moon Landing. I can’t remember the size of the Air & Space Museum in Washington but this was huge, overwhelming with information and you could easily spend an entire day here.
