I have made it out to Portland and put 5000 miles on my beat-up Subaru in the process. I’ve also nearly destroyed the thing. In Chicago the breaks and routers had to be replaced. In Minneapolis my window got smashing in and someone stole my camping gear (luckily my camera gear was all locked up in my friend’s apartment). The window got replaced in Omaha as I tried unsuccessfully to get into College World Series. They wouldn’t let me into the game with my camera gear, which I wasn’t going to leave in a car with a busted window. Finally somewhere between Wyoming and Oregon a piece of plastic on the bottom came loose. They were two little pieces of plastic hanging down. When I took it to a mechanic today he gave me the greatest answer a mechanic could ever give. The part they were from was essentially useless and while he could order me the part for $140, he suggested I just take a pair of scissors to it and keep going.
I’m taking an extra day to unwind, catch up on things at my friends house in Portland, followed by two days in Seattle and finally off to Alaska.
