Today’s Journey

This is day two of our journey from Santa Clara, California, in the Bay Area, to Arlington, Washington, and it’s going to be a hard push to cover the distance necessary.

A Hard Push

The goal is to get the rest of the way through northern California, through Oregon and past Vancouver, Washington; a distance of nearly 600 miles!

The weather will be overcast and rainy all day.

Inevitable Delays

It seems there is always something causing delays in Portland. Usually, it’s just heavy traffic; but, today we were re-routed for who knows why.
