Oma's Trip ~ 03/10/03 Dateline: Estacada (Portland), Oregon ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What a leisurely day!! 110 miles... I was glad that I drove all the way to Eugene yesterday afternoon... made today so much shorter... Didn't get up early either!! And after I got packed up, I headed next door to Denny's and had breakfast before I left... Speed limit was only 65mph and I saw highway patrol out there giving tickets away, so I drove nice and enjoyed the scenery. This is such a pretty place... and after I turned off I-5 to get here, I passed by a Safeway (grocery) store and noticed that now they have GAS... and it was cheaper than the other gas stations nearby -- most looked about $1.89/gal. but Safeway was $1.82/gal. One GREAT thing about Oregon is that no one is allowed to pump their own gas -- no self serve islands in this state!! So I WILL gas up before I leave Oregon -- probably the day I leave here... I'll go back up the road and get gas at Safeway!! Think I'll be here a day or maybe two -- recharging my batteries... Only 2 -- yes TWO -- "driving days" left -- wonder how long it will be before I get home.
