Heading to Oregon

---

Wednesday, March 16th, 2005: Got up at 7am and was on the road by 8am. I’m heading to Oregon to see Emily and Payton for Spring Break. Drove all day and stopped in Cheyanne, Wyoming for the night. I slept in a truckstop parking lot in the back seat/trunk.

Thursday, March 17th, 2005: Got up around 6am CST and started driving. Nothing interesting happened except for a car wreck in Ontario, Oregon. When I passed it, a car was upsidedown and completely black because it had apparently been burning. About a mile later, some lady almost skidded into a truck because she was tailgating. She slid onto the side of the road. I stopped for the night in Pendleton, Oregon at the Pilar Motel. Only $27 total for the night! Tomorrow I’ll have to drive another 4 hours to Albany. Luckily there’s a motel across the street that offers free wireless and I’m able to tap into that for free internet.

Friday, March 18th, 2005: Went to breakfast at some local restaurant since I couldn’t find a McDonald’s anywhere. I had pancakes, eggs, bacon and milk. Did some work for a few hours from the hotel room and then headed for Albany. Got there around 2:30pm. Stopped by Target, then went to the downtown mall to sit at a table and catch up on work. Stopped by the Tot Shop and said hello to Lonnie. Went to Colleen’s around 6pm and picked up the kids. We went to the theater to see Robots and then spent the night at the Value Inn motel.
