Day 79 - Saturday, October 4, 1997

Pheasant Ridge RV Park, Portland, Oregon - Gee, more rain! Who woulda thought? You know all the nasty things they say about Portland's weather? They're true!!

We met an interesting couple today, Hilary and Tim. They invited us over their house for the evening. It was so refreshing to be sitting on an actual couch in an actual living room in an actual house. Of course, the company was great, too. Tim, aka Norbert, is a drummer, so he and Jim made music talk for much of the evening. Hilary, aka Ilsa, and Marci hit it off really well, chatting up a storm about their common interests.

During the evening Marci had a few drinks for the first time since we left on our adventure. Unfortunately she must have caught a bug or something, since she got kind of sick once we got back to The Den. She spent much of the evening praying to the porcelain princess.
