I saw your car with the flashy url painted window right down the street from my house this evening. Welcome to the neighborh00d!

Thanks, we love it here!

I saw this tumblr on the back of a van when I was merging onto 1-5 South last night. What a fantastic way to advertise. Nice blog!

I have learned the hard way to always wear headphones on the MAX. That way, people looking for drugs or homeless people who want to propose to you might leave you alone. But yesterday, I had no such luck.

I was standing on the green line headed into downtown when a girl stumbled on.

“THAT’S CUTE,” she said loudly.

Oh no. Is she talking to me?

“Um. What is?”

“Yoooooooourrrrrrr shoes.” [Insert dramatic hand motion pointy-thing here]

“Oh, thanks,” I said, whilst blasting Snow Patrol.

“Boy, all it takes is a COUPLE SHOTS OF VODKA!”

Smile and nod. Smile and nod. Yeah, like that. Maybe this awkward exchange will be over now.

The awkward exchange was over…and then she started singing out loud with her iPod. Loudly. Hilariously.

I love Portland.

So me and my friend went to Portland today, and we decided to go to the Lloyd Center. We ended up parking behind your truck and saw your url! So just wanted to say hi, and I hope you enjoy Portland!

Thanks! We were going to wash the URL off, but decided not to, just to see what happened. We’re kinda sorta madly in love with the PDX.

Dear Photograph,
I was astounded, but I hadn’t had time to consider what I was seeing.

“Man: You’re being very patient.
J: I don’t hear that very often. Being patient isn’t one of my finer qualities.
Man: Trust me, you have quite a few fine qualities.”

We originally planned on staying about 2.5 hours outside of Portland so we could get an early start tomorrow, see the Columbia River Gorge in all its sunshiny glory and move into our new house, so we started looking at campgrounds at about 4 this afternoon, and here’s what happened:

circa 4 p.m. KOA - somewhere around Pendleton, OR: Didn’t have electricity, or any good tent sites, and we figured we had more time, so we set the GPS to “campground” and 35 miles later…

circa 4:45 p.m. Random campground - Looked like the sketchiest place we’d ever seen, even five feet into the driveway. “Let’s ditch,” we said, so we kept on driving.

Anytime between 4:45 and 9 p.m. Campgrounds 3, 4 and 5 - the GPS led us to nonexistent campgrounds three (in a residential cul de sac), four (off a cliff), and five (in thin air).

9 p.m. KOA - We found signs for a different KOA that our GPS didn’t pick up on. We managed to get the only tent site with electricity, so we put the tent up sans rain tarp and full extensions, and we’re only an hour away from Portland now.

This means sleeping in and getting a decent shower. I feel like Ryan Atwood (we’ve been watching a lot of The O.C. lately. Forgive me.) with all the “wifebeater” tank tops and white t-shirts I’ve been wearing.

Luke is currently betting me that we can’t finish an entire box of Ritz and a full jar of peanut butter tonight. Game on, sucka!

I was the crazy one in the white BMW honking at y'all.! I think what you're doing is delightful and rather inspiring.! I hope you have a fun safe last day of traveling.! <3 from Utah.!
