  • Oregon Trail: Our journey from Arlington to Portland

    This trip journal was written the night of or the morning after the travel described. I attempted to make this a beautiful presentation with photos inline, but it turned into a bear of a project that would have never been finished (think: the eight-years-in-progress Japanese trip blog I’ve been writing) so instead you get a
