Where is this Stevenson?

Go to Portland and go left up the Columbia--towards The Dalles. Most beautiful place in the world for a poultry show!

Most people actually stay on the Oregon side in Cascade Locks at the Best Western. Ya gotta cross the scary bridge to go over to the barns.

South I-5 to South 205 to East 84. I think.

Yes you can take Hwy 14 (Washington side 2 lane road) or you can take I-84 (OR side freeway) and then cross back over at Cascade Locks. Bridge of the Gods ( yes that really is the name of it).

Stevenson is up the Columbia river about 40+/- miles from Portland/Vancouver. It is in WA.

I was guessing it was in Stevens County. Looks like I was wrong.

Oh I see how it is now yer callin my very high quality art work "rusty, ghetto, funny, trashy, stuff."

If you can get pics I can probably make something very close. I also have a few new ideas I plan to try once I get these bells done. If you want something really cool for your yard I have a 7' yes seven foot circular saw blade that I am just wiating until I find a buyer. And then I will custom cut thier design in it.

7" OMG that's crazy big. But very cool. I'll think about it, very tempting.

I'll let you get the bells done first though.

Did you see the second part of my post about extra plants?


Bridge of the Gods- had to google that, cool bridge

So I wonder if you could use caprine goat nipples instead of the black things that cost so much?

LOL...I have a broody too. and incubator that is to be delivered tomorrow. 3 girlies from you on SAturday and 2 from Zgoatlady. I am going to be having chickens coming out my ears. LOL.

Isn't it exciting? My Brinsea is due to arrive today. Just tracked it and it's in Redmond, WA right now. Builders are due to arrive this morning to get back to work on the coop, so I'm getting taco soup on in the crockpot. They're setting up a canopy in the backyard so they can continue working even through showers, and have assured me they are just a few days away from completion. I'll be picking up my FIRST two pullets from Pips&Peeps this weekend and am so excited!

So when are you going to start hatching and what are you hatching first?

CR- did you see my post about the short flat bell in your vid? If no one has claimed it, I would be interested. I liked it's sound.
I will just set those flowers aside for you and get out to your place for a visit some time after the show! You know the difference between the mop top and lace capped hydrangeas I assume?
These stay at about 4wx3-4h feet(about 4-5 years to maturity) and are very tidy.

No I don't know a thing about them. I kind of thought that after I get these bells done for the show you could come out and hear it and some of the others they sound much better in person. I have that little 6" bell and 6 8" that are all 30"+. So yes I know you want the little one but when you hear one of those 30" you may change your mind!!!!

jCan you Pm me about the bells. Id love to knowhow much they cost.. Thanks
