The drive from San Fransico to Portland was long -- and incredibly scenic, even though I went the "quick way" straight up I-5. Everything north of Redding is amazing.

Mt Shasta is downright stunning. And appropriately as I crossed into Oregon it started raining. And got greener.

And when I pulled in early at Salem there was a McMenamins for dinner. And all was right in the world.

I doubt that I've ever had a better days drive - certainly not with traffic and mountains and rain ....

PS: Google proves I'm not the only freak that refers to cities by their Airport Code. I'll say it's a subculture :)
