Made the trip from Seattle to Oregon; roughly 3 hours of mostly freeway driving. It was relatively benign however I did manage to get picked off by an airplane and pulled over by a state trooper ... ticket #1
We stayed at Jupiter Next in the NE of Portland (where someone was nice enough to pour/spit a beer all over my car in the middle of the night)...
During the day we hit downtown and the river boardwalk renting a deuce bicycle and grabbing some margaritas and tacos along the way. Pretty cool spot. I was shocked at the number of homeless people throughout the city.
This place is not for me; gender neutral washrooms, kids dressed as fairies, addicts passed out in a pile of needles and anti-pipeline/LNG signs. F this place, we're out.
(Please inform me if we stayed in the wrong area of town as that was quite the experience)
