Glen,

Don't know which route you're planning on taking to Bend but Wally and I will be rolling down US-395 towards Kennewick early in the afternoon on Wednesday.  It all depends on how far we get into Montana on Tuesday and what time we get on the road Wednesday morning. 

If we get to Big Timber, MT on Tuesday it is about 9+ hours from there to Kennewick.  So if we're rolling by 6 o'clock MDT (5 o'clock PDT) that would put us in Kennewick between 2:00 and 3:00 PDT and then into Bend about 4 hours later.  That may be later than you want arrive in Bend though.

I will let you know hopefully soon. I would like to get to Bend by early afternoon so I can see my sister who lives there. She will be leaving Friday morning to pick my parents up at the airport in Redmond then drive to the Olympic Peninsula for my niece's wedding (mom is not very happy with me for not being at the wedding). So my only time to meet up with with my sister is either Wednesday afternoon of early Thursday evening.

No worries.  Our travel plans aren't cast in stone yet.  We may try to get some miles done on Monday night which would put us in Kennewick earlier on Wednesday.  We'll keep you posted.

Glen,
Madras is only 1 to 1 1/2 hours from Welches... depending on your driving and traffic.
So I'm not sure of the meeting time at Welches...yet.
When do you plan on being at Madras? 
There is a McDonalds we can meet at, and a gas station so we can fill up if needed.
