August 12, Why I hate Oregon

Damn, I'm starting to hate this particular run. I'm calculating SOMETHING wrong. Any way I look at it, it should be – and is – about 16 to 17 hours drive time from Sacramento to Spokane. But my ETA is completely whacked. And it's not like I spend a lot of time on break or anything. Well, truth to tell, only took three or so breaks – and two of them lasted together about an hour and a half.. Not my fault – got in line at the fuel island in Biggs, for instance, behind a guy who was broken down and nobody would let me over into the next lanes. He finally got started, but only after I sat there for 45 minutes. Still doesn't explain my eta, though.

Then, to add to the fun, this section of Spokane is all torn up. The streets, that is. Having been here before, I have SOME idea of how to get around the closed streets. If I were coming at this cold, I'd be completely screwed.
