earthroamer xv-jp in Oregon today?

[jingram]

Which one of you guys did I pass in the Columbia River Gorge today near Cascade Locks? You were heading west torwards Portland and I was heading east towards Pendleton on I-84. I would swear that it was Scott, but the rig looked more silver than white. I honked three times or so, but that was the best I could do, lol. The rig is much more compact looking than I expected. A very nice looking package indeed! Whoever it was, hope you are having a great trip!

Rgds,

Sounds like you saw Mike bringing his new XV-JP home to Portland, from the ER facility in CO.

Yep, that would be the one.... I thought it was the overland journal logo on the side, now I see that it was the ER one. Very cool... congrats Mike!

Look forward to a full write up on your thoughts!

Inarguably me. Got back to Portland about 5:00. I might have been distracted by listening to the Ducks devoted efforts not to win their game against Cal.

BTW, honking the horn was a vastly superior manuever to the Idaho woman in a Cherokee who blew by me, then slowed down 20 mph to get behind me again, and then damn near drove her Jeep into a ditch while fishing in the glovebox for her camera. She recovered enough to drive alongside me, apparently unembarrassed, for a solid mile while she took about 80 pictures. Yikes.

Dangit, that's what I've been doing wrong all this time. I need to get one of these.

Glad the trip home with your new Jeep went okay. When is the first camping trip?

Ive heard rumors of the upgraded windshield wiper system ER installs on these units for use in clearing panties and bras from adoring fans :victory:

I'm thinkin' that if you'd all go out and get one, then they'd be common enough that people wouldn't drive funny around them. Tell your significant other, "But, honey, getting this might help save a life." (She really did almost drive into the ditch. Hey, maybe it was me she was gawkin' at. Ahhh . . . nope.)

Does tonight in the driveway count?

If not, pretty soon. I'll post up some beauty shots when I get them, but figure it's gonna be awhile before I do better than the stuff Chris did in the Rockies.
