We get on the road shortly after 9:00 A.M. and heard for Portland about 286 miles away.  A good portion of the route will be on secondary roads.  We follow route 97 east of Upper Klamath Lake through Winema National Forest, onto route 58 going north and east of Crater Lake and into Umpqua National Forest, and finally through Willamette National Forest towards Eugene where we merge on Interstate 5 North at 2 P.M..  What a scenic ride on another beautiful day.

About 3:30 P.M. we stop at the Bridgeport Mall while Jeanne makes a few purchases at Talbot’s.  A little more than an hour later we get back on the interstate where it takes us an hour to do the last 12 miles to the Courtyard in downtown Portland.
