No ferry
We left at 8:45. No ferry to catch. Not only that but we were on the freeway in 5 minutes—And the easiest driving part of I5. It's like getting a 4 hour head start. Almost perfect driving day. Clear and cold and dry. But a lot of smoke hanging about all day. Can it all be from California?
Hit only a corner of Portland and turned up the gorge into the wind. 84 is so much more scenic than 5 through Oregon. At the Dalles we turned onto 197 — almost no traffic—almost views of the mountains through the smoke—nice rolling hills and views of the Deschutes River. 97 slips by Bend so you hardly know it is there. Lava and pine trees and here we are in LaPine. Easy to find our way around and only one major motel.
