Hello from cloudy Orlando
As my Oregonian buddies may or may not know, I-5 northbound was closed "yesterday" (Wed. 8-13) due to truck fires(?). What may be unknown is that yours truly was desperately attempting to use this road to reach PDX before his 10:00 PM flight. Eventually we got off in Albany and took back-country roads through Independence to Salem, at which point I-5 was flowing again. However, this caused my planned 6:30 arrival at PDX to become an actual 8:50 arrival! Fortunately I made it with time to spare. Now, as my title hints, I am sitting in Orlando, very thankful that airports are air conditioned. There may be more updates today as further travel occurs. Adios!
