07.24.21 Portland to Albany

Happy 15th birthday Phebe! Hope the rest of your birthday was as great as you had planned.

Thanks to Mimi, Darci and Phebe for hosting me for the night on short notice. Glad I got a chance to see you all and spend some time catching up.

Mananged to stay off I-5 except for about 2 miles of the trip to Albany from Mimi & Darci’s in Portland. Had a leisurely drive through the valley on back highways. It was a much more enjoyable drive than getting on the interstate.
