And secondary plans, if I recall. And then when I was so late leaving.... well, yeah. And yes, rest stops for the win for sure! :)<br /><br />Victoriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15353740485888176936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32545265.post-8070942417278928962016-10-05T13:14:50.158-07:002016-10-05T13:14:50.158-07:00Well, it's too late but I'd advise trying ...Well, it's too late but I'd advise trying to drive around Portland, rather than through it. The mess of on and off ramps in the heart of the city is just so confusing and intimidating... it also feels easier to get off outside the city, take the surface streets to get around, and get back on the highway on the otherside.<br /><br />But too late for that.<br /><br />I'd also have mentioned the rest-stops as being important. One of the great things about the US highway system is those rest-stops. And truck stop diners, too.<br /><br />And man, you can sure eat up miles fast on the US highways... it's sort of like driving the Trans-Canada once you're out of the Rockies. The miles just drop away at 60mph.<br /><br />I'm glad there were more moments of light on this day. And glad Other Jason kept taking your calls. That's a good friend.Jason Langloishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02507550527211520786noreply@blogger.com
