Corvallis

Much of Saturday was spent sitting in JFK Airport as, for some unknown reason, Delta chose to route me through New York as the cheapest route from Washington D.C. to Portland, OR. After arriving in Portland, I was informed by the rental car agency that my drivers license had expired last week. Walking in a daze back to the terminal, I called the shuttle bus servicing Corvallis and hoped that they were still open. They were and after leisurely drive south, I arrived around 1:00AM but my body clock was saying 4:00AM. Maybe it's a good thing that I didn't try and drive.

The original plan was to meet Troubadour and Irondad at the range at Linn Benton Community College but without a car, that would have been a long walk. To the rescue comes Trobairitz who graciously picked me up and gave me a ride to the range. Sorry, no pictures of how Team Oregon in action as they pour safe riding information into their students. After a short visit with Dan during his lunch break, we then headed into downtown Corvallis for lunch. Here is Troubadour on his Tiger 800 after I missed the photo-op when he passed us up.

Better company would have been hard to find and we spent quite a bit of time talking after a feasting on the Indian buffet at the Evergreen Indian Restaurant. Trobairitz had even considering letting me ride her Gladius until she learned that I didn't have a valid drivers license. Thank you both for being willing to spend time with just a random person on the Internet.
