Made it Through Portland Traffic in the Rain

Today’s Journey

Driving in the Rain

It’s going to be a rainy drive through Oregon and Washington along Interstate Highway 5 today.

Of course, that’s not really surprising; it is, after all, the Pacific Northwest.

Portland Traffic

Also not surprising: Portland traffic is horrible. It’s even worse when it’s raining!

We’re heading to the Tacoma Mall in Tacoma, Washington to get in position for our 3 am delivery appointment.

Of course, we’ve first got to make it through Portland traffic in the rain first!

Inconsiderate Drivers at Truck Stops

We’ll make our 3 am delivery in Tacoma and then head to Federal Way to make the second delivery at 6 am.

Once we’re done, we’ve got to head back to Oregon for our next load, after which we’ll endure more Portland traffic before shutting down for the day.

I may need a nap!
