Trip to Portland Summary

I am going to try to write up individual posts for important segments of my trip, some may be longer than others, but I can feel that my energy is beginning to wane, so we'll see how far this goes. Plus, I am hoping to get a phone call tonight, so that may interrupt this process as well. However, I wanted to give a brief overview of the trip to shed some light on where and when things happened.

Starting on Saturday, September 20th, I began my trip to Portland, Oregon. I headed to Billings, Montana, where I stayed for the first night. On day two, I headed west, stopping in Butte, Montana, for lunch / dinner before ending the night in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Day three had a visit to Spokane, Washington, and ended in Yakima, Washington. Day four started with a trip to see Mt. Rainier, and then continued on to Portland, Oregon. In Portland, I stayed at the McMenamin's Edgefield, and visited Mt. Hood Community College and the Chinese Shao-Lin Center in Portland. On day five I drove across most of Oregon and Idaho, staying in Pocatello, Idaho. Day six was a visit to Jackson, Wyoming, and the return trip to Cheyenne.

I created this picture based on an interstate map, found on the wikicommons, approximately detailing my trip.
