Looks like they are having fun, but it makes me cold just to think of them:

Checking in to let you know where I, Craig Miller, am and that I'm OK.

Mrs. Rupe and I were in Christmas Valley on Sat 22 and Sun.23rd. We were over looking at another chunk of land, and it was cold. But not in the motel room LOL. The lake downtown CV was covered with ice and the geese were walking on it so I'm sure those guys on the run got a bit chilly!   Looks like they are on the top of Green Mountain when this was sent.  

I am Notoriously poor on writeups... Maybe Craig will do the honors since it was his first time on this route.  I may miss the details having seen it a few times.

Hint, Hint...

Soren and I just rolled into the driveway about an hour ago. We had a GREAT time! Everyone including the kids came prepared for winter camping. I don't think I heard one person seriously complain about the cold the entire trip. The lack of precipitation made it very enjoyable.

Looks like my first SPOT message from Glass Buttes didn't make it through. We camped 3 nights. Glass Butte-ish area, Green Mountain, and outside of Sisters. We took some nice drives Overland and a couple of side-trips to Derrick Cave and Crack in the Ground. I'm not sure I'll have time to do a write-up for a while (Thanksgiving, and planning the Snowfari) but I'll try and upload a few photos.

Wish all of you guys could have joined us. It is a trip that would be fun in every type of rig on here including the Sportsmobiles and Pinzgauers. Great fun, and great route!
