We're on the road again, heading north into Oregon.  We made it to Lebanon, OR and met Chris on his friend Martha's 50 acre ranch.  She has several rhea (a small ostrich), sheep, rabbits and chickens.  And two kids.  She has her hands full.  She purchased this ranch as an established ranch with a few other people, but things didn't work out.  She is now running things with her two kids, Kyle and Keegan, and her friend Leslie.  The place has great potential!  Martha told us of an elderly lady who dubbed her the "Duchess of Neverdone", so we were jokingly referred to her ranch as the Neverdone Ranch.

When we got there, we began a tour of the place, but Martha had to run into town for errands, so Chris continued the tour.  We took the ATV out to check out the large grass field and wooded acreage that's all part of the property.  Chris is having way too much fun on the ATV.  All three of us on the ATV was slowing it down quite a bit.  We noticed the warning labels to always wear helmets (we didn't) and to never carry passengers (well, there were three of us).  The grass is about 5 feet high, hiding all the bumps and holes.  Fun ride!  We were all covered in grass seeds afterwards.  

Andrew, Chris and I opened up a bottle of Two-Buck Chuck and Leslie came out to join us.  Martha was still out running errands, but she doesn't drink.  When she did come in, we offered her a lovely cranberry juice, vintage Tuesday.
