2025 Portland Spirit

At the end of September, 2025, we took a cruise from Portland to Astoria on the Portland Spirit. Full gallery is here

We went the night before, with a drink at a local bar, some browsing at Powell’s, and a dinner at Dolly Olive. Portland was a war zone, and we barely escaped with our lives.

The next day we left with a group of war refugees and headeded towards Astoria. Was a bit rainy to start with, so not much pictures getting out of Portland.

Hotel we stayed at on another trip

A lovely trip and we met some nice people at the other tables. Could see doing this again.

Had a nice (rainy) day drive the next day down 99 and back to Eugene by lunch.
