On our final day of traveling we logged another 10 hour day. We have been following the Oregon Trail "Auto Tour" route for the majority of the trip. And for the last few states we have been following the Lewis and Clark Trail, the same route that another Bowman once took (a relative? who knows.) All I know is that I made WAY better time than he.
As we entered Oregon it seemed just as boring as previous states, but steady grew more and more beautiful as we traveled west. Every mile a more breathtaking micro-climate than the last. The Columbia River Gorge was especially beautiful. We arrived at our new home, Portland Oregon, about 5 pm PST. We went and met the potential roommates at “The Lodge” where they mentioned that the landlord would most likely not allow Sagan to be an inside dog. Quite a miscommunication by the dude that is subletting the place...and an obvious deal-breaker (but that place is still up in the air.)
We then moved on over to our friends house (where we stayed for the night) and then walked out with Sagan and had some great food, where we met many extremely friendly strangers who oogled all over Sagan, gave him treats, and chit-chatted with us. Looks like having a dog is the best way to make friends here.
