26 May 18

After my late-ish dinner last night, I slept in till 08:00. After breakfast, I spent a bit of time planning out the remainder of the trip and booked hotels in Pendleton, OR, for tonight and two nights in Portland on Sunday and Monday. The drive to Pendleton was beautiful and uneventful, except for the W15 head winds which persisted until I finally dropped down onto the Columbia River valley. Pendleton is a lovely little farming community (formerly home of the Pendleton Woolen Mills) with a vibrant downtown. Weather here is gorgeous!! 74F and dry at 18:00 PST.
