In Eugene, off to Portland soon

Got into Eugene just before 9:30 last night after leaving Mountain View at about 11:45am. Made a couple of stops, 30 minutes for food, twice for gas, and a couple of short leg-stretchers. Pretty good time, I think.

Not as much rain as I was expecting from forecasts, but did get some snow in what I think was Grants Pass. Not cold enough to stick or cause driving problems, but there were a couple of short periods where the rain turned to big white crystalline flakes.

The built-in navigation in my car worked flawlessly. The XM radio, for some stange reason, didn't. It kept losing signal for brief periods through good portions of central Oregon.

Just about ready to head out of here. The next note will be from Portland.
