24 Hours in Portland OR

Just wrapping up a week in Oregon... Drove from Portland down to Crater Lake, with number of stops along the way!  This was my third visit to Portland, so less sightseeing and more just enjoying the food and drink before heading the road!  

One of my favorite Breweries 

Over 9,000 bicyclist took part in the Naked Bike Ride last Saturday Night (6-24)..   we got caught up in hour long road block! 

Drink a beer and help out a local non profit group!
