Took me over nine hours to drive home from Vancouver yesterday.
Northbound I-5 closed due to a mudslide, so I'll just jump down through Portland and take Hiway30 past the slide, across the bridge back into Washington. Simple.
Ha Ha.
That turned out to be the only alternative, and all the radio traffic reports announced that to everybody.
Hiway 30 also had a slide, and the crew clearing it gashed a natural gas line. At least I was in front of that closure, but spent most of the day sitting in bumper-to-bumper traffic.
Seven hours from Vancouver to Longview, normally about a half-hour.
Yup, I've seen enough rain for a while.
