Today's post was supposed to have been about how we drove the Cascade Lakes National Scenic Byway loop using our loaner vehicle, a Ford Escape. But the afternoon was marred when Denny was assaulted by another driver who became enraged when we pulled off a side road and didn't drive fast enough through a business section of the roadway to suit him.
I'm not going to go into all the details, but the end result was that Denny received a 3 inch gash on his forehead and the driver probably got off with just a warning (both we and a witness got the driver's license plate number) as we refused to press charges due to the fact that we would have had to return to Oregon weeks or months in the future to attend a hearing and we decided the expense would not be worth it. The man's rage was totally out of line for the incident and we can only hope that the next person that angers him doesn't get hurt worse.
Safe travels, everyone.
