20 miles out of PDX

So we are 20 miles out of PDX. We can see the lights of the city reflecting off the Columbia as we drive along 84.

Can't believe we are HERE.

Slight change in plans

I have cabin fever and am ready to get out of the RV. Hence we've decided that since we are two hours (which now sounds like nothin') east of Portland that we are putting the pedal to the metal and are going to our new home. We called our landlords and they are going to be meeting us tonight. Going to pick up some air mattresses at a Target or something and spend tonight in a space bigger than a breadbox. A little sad to see the road trip end.. but not THAT sad. Currently we are driving along the Columbia River heading west on 84. Washington state is on my right. I can't believe Vin has driven the whole way! I've been the navigator, blogger updater, etc. We are going to clean out Large Marge (my name for the rv) tomorrow and turn it in Thursday morning. Hoping a neighbor has wireless in the neighborhood that we can sponge off of. If so I will put my new pics up. There are a bunch of them!

The Oregon Interpretive Center was really cool. Life size dioramas (Very realistic... right down to the poo stuck in the oxen's tails!) But we watched a (way too long) video on the Donner Party and then went out and saw a part of the real Oregon Trail.

Anyhoo.... this has been really fun. We're glad so many people have enjoyed our travel log. Will post again when we arrive in PDX.

Officially in Oregon

We're in Baker City. Stopping for some early lunch before we hit the museum. Iwill try to upload pics if we have wireless tonight. We're staying in The Dalles tonight- don't know where yet. Rolling into Portland tomorrow ahead of our stuff. We got a call from John our driver and he's stuck in Illinois waiting on a part and for weather to clear up. More news later. Vin is antsy.
