So I made it to the outskirts of Portland. Right now I’m at the rest stop outside Wilsonville, there’s an accident on I-5 just north of here so I’m stopping to rest.

Still not feeling 100%, and I ran into a little.. mechanical problem that hastened my arrival here. I need to stop by a VW shop tomorrow and see what they can help me with. At minimum I’ll need that accelerator part replaced. Should be easy, nothing I haven’t fixed before.

So if I can get parts tomorrow I roll to Kings Valley and on to Bend. For purposes of this trip I’m considering Portland Mile 0, even if I’m doubling back a bit.
