The main highway was only two lanes and narrow.for our trailer. Part of the way we drove right along the Columbia River. The bridal wreath and spring flowers were in bloom and the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers. In Portland the roses were all in bloom and the climbing roses were half way up the telephone poles.
We picked up a young boy, who was hitch hiking and stayed in the trailer at his home near Portland the first night. I was not prepared for the traffic and size of the town. To me it seemed gigantic. The boy knew how to find 82nd north so we missed all the heavy down town traffic.
Max Oakey's mother and her husband Mike Hunt were living in Portland and we parked our trailer back of their house. We didn't have to pay any rent or electricity we just had to take Mike to work each day.
