Wonderful ride so far. I absolutely love riding out there. I live outside of PDX on the south side and went through there on the KLR a few weeks ago. Love the area near Mt Adams, especially since I climbed it twice

(Unfortunately not with a bike...

) Love the Dalles area as well. I rode I84 all the way out to La Grande on that trip...Tedious but beautiful...Makes me think I should make a report of it...Hmm.
Enjoy the riding!! Ill be in the Gorge tomorrow, dreaming of what Id do if I were on my bike...
Ride safe,
