North to Alaska … Day 2 – Tuesday 5/4/10 to Portland, OR

posted in: Oregon 0

Day 2 started out with a “wake-up call” from my buddy Mike, aka ‘fishbait’ at 7:22 AM.  No big deal … it was time to get out of bed and get things moving.  Other than the rain, the rest of day turned out to be quite pleasant.  Once we settled down at the Columbia River RV Park in Portland, Oregon we decided to take in some sights.  No use letting a little rain ruin anything.  For those who have never seen out 5th wheel, here are 3 photos of our rig.

Started our Portland adventure by visiting the Fabric Depot.  This Fabric Depot is to quilters what Home Depot is to men.  It’s a pilgrimage that needs to be completed at least once in order to find inner peace.  Here are some photos of Karen’s visit.

How do you top the Fabric Depot?  You visit the Tram.  Every time we drive through Portland and pass under the Tram on Interstate 5 I always say that we’ve got to stop and take a ride on it.  Well today was that day.  Here’s some birds eye views of the sights we experienced riding the Tram.

Finished off our whirl wind tour of Portland visiting Powell’s City of Books, the largest new and used book store in the world.  A reader’s paradise.  If you’re a big reader then check this out and eat your heart out.
