Today is a fairly short drive through the mountains into Vancouver Washington.

The weather was great as it has been for the majority of the trip. We started out in the high desert with the mountains in the distance. It was really quite picturesque, although the snapshots don't really do it justice.
As we got into the mountains, the trees became much more plentiful. We ended up driving past Government Camp on Mt. Hood, this is where Quillan went to a snowboarding camp a couple of years ago.
Early afternoon we ended up in Washington. We needed to search a bit for the welcome sign, but we eventually found it, it's past the second exit.
While in Vancouver, we did meet up with a couple of guys, one brought his 1986 Jalpa. I had to get pictures so Pam could see that it's possible that ours will be on the road at some point. Quillan suggested that I actually needed to take a video since it might not have gotten there under it's own power.
There seems to be quite a bit to do in the Portland/Vancouver area. Unfortunately, we'll be heading on tomorrow, we would really need to spend several months on the road to have time to really explore.
