Day 3 dawned cold and wet. I didn’t see much point in taking any shots of the Rodeway Inn since it was so cold and miserable. What now follows are some shots from some of my hangouts that I’d discovered over the summer on another road trip.

Well, I made it past Portland, my prime objective. Going through that place I find nerve-wracking, but my trusty GPS helped enormously. One thing that caught me by surprise was when it suddenly dimmed to accommodate dusk. That gave me a bit of turn as it was now much harder to see the display. I took that as a hint to take off my shades for the day.

Today is the day. After long months of planning, wishing, etc. I’m now off on a journey to span 3-4 months. The plan? To drive all the way down I-5 to LA, make a bit of a detour to visit a friend in Austin, then head off into Mexico. Here are some of the pix I took, on that morning of January 21st. Enjoy!
