Reno to Alaska: Day 1

Greetings! Made it to Portland last night on the first leg of our journey. We left the Leck's home early yesterday morning. It was a sad goodbye but also an exciting new beginning. We picked up the loaded trailer and started north only stopping to get gas or take a quick break. We drove by Mt Shasta this afternoon which was covered in clouds. The jeep and trailer handled well enough after getting used to the weight and swaying back and forth. Slow and steady will have to do. We met and stayed with Mark and Jamie, Kate's second cousins, who live in Portland. They are great hosts and lots of fun. We needed to catch up on sleep and so made it a late morning with a walk to coffee to blog and across the street to REI to get working walkie-talkies. Today we will be crossing the Canadian boarder and stopping at a small town called Hope. Thanks for reading. Stay tuned.
