The rare occurrence of a Saturday night drive through Tacoma being decidedly unTacomaesque, due to the police cruiser pacing everyone, keeping the asshattery at bay.

Shockingly, pumped my own gas in Albany, and hit the elusive Carl's Jr for dinner. Wet going but uneventful!

Both northern California I-5 rest stops on this trip: Dirty, broken stuff, missing vital components.
Both Oregon I-5 rest stops: Properly appointed and not trashed.
This has been Rest Stop Roundup.

Made it all the way through Oregon without getting gas or interacting with anybody, so, uh, take that, I guess?

Been raining pretty good for the past hour and a half or so. This Subaru Ascent is an absolute beast through it all though, even compared to our old Forester. More than halfway through Oregon now, we'll see where the next stop lines up!

Driving through Portland always feels like some sort of unplanned Factorio belt spaghetti.

First stop in Vancouver for half a tank of gas (as to only require one fuel stop in Oregon) and Del Taco, where the sauce packets were all meticulously stacked.

Covered 57 miles over the second hour, trending in the right direction! Should be smooth sailing after the ridiculousness that was Tacoma. First stop should be in Vancouver, WA, as is tradition.

First hour down, a whopping 29 miles traveled. On I-5 now at least, and it remains dry. Been bouncing around SiriusXM channels, already attained Sandstorm.

Alright, let's break this in with the annual California road trip! Added some challenge this year with a fresh appendectomy, so I'm not allowed to lift anything, but the family came through with superb car packing! First long trip in the Ascent as well!
