Hotter than the hubs of hell. Had to stop and experience A/C at Target.

They had a Starbucks. We also wanted to wait out the rush hour.

Asked a nice lady in the washroom how long rush hour is for? She said it depends if you are going north or south.

Thank god we were going south. We rested / waited 45 min. Then headed out. South was fairly good. North had 3 Lanes of Traffic backed up for 20 miles.

*****NOTE TO SELF*****. Never. Never go north thru Portland.
