    Just got back from towing some buddies out. Tunnel to stadium is a standstill. Most roads are just car graveyards of wrecked and abandoned cars. Felt like the walking dead IMG_20161214_200037.jpg

    Yeah I felt like that too. Saw a bunch of dead cars on my way home tonight. I know a few buddies of mine ran out of gas sitting in traffic.

    It was kind of fun seeing all the beef rigs out today, though. I passed by a dark blue taco with a big UofO sticker on the tailgate twice, once at the Imbrie Fred Meyer and again on Brookwood. We exchanged thumbs up/wave.

    Took me 6.5 hours from my school near Lloyd Center to Beaverton. I cut through before the hwy 26 exit from the 405 and got to Jefferson and came onto 26 from there. Craziness on how many cars went up a hill to only slide down, some hitting another car.

    One slid down and hit the car now front of me and they both slid towards me so I had to back up only to not be able to stop making the car behind me back up too. Was finally about to situate myself and bust a u turn to get onto Jefferson. Fun stuff I tell you...peeing in a cup and emptying it outside a couple times :D

    Saw a bunch of tacomas just cruising around like it was no big deal waved and smiled at each one.

    The man got caught in traffic and cried because it took me two hours to go from Forrest grove back to 185th

    I'm "working" (nothing scheduled, but I have to babysit the laptop), and I have a guitar lesson at Five Star Guitars at 6pm. (EDIT: lesson cancelled, but props to my instructor for still opening shop)
    Let me know how traffic is like since I'm essentially headed to your meetup spot later today :p

    The only thing 'nearby' I've tried is taking Pihl road near Banks up to Bacona, and then eventually dropping out on SW JP W Road by Scappoose Middle School

    Roads aren't bad your taco should be fine still a handful of drivers who are clueless in the road so watch out for that
