<br>Yep! Was holding a sign that said "SALEM" in bold letters. No matter. Portland sux. I even moved my position to about 6 different (very busy) corners. No luck. I was right past a mall entrance and several entrances to the X-Way. Also made sure to stand in a spot where peeps could pull over without too much trouble. Again no luck. I came very close to writing a blistering (no pun intended) letter to the local paper. (The Oregonian, I believe). Just never found the time to do it. But I hope to never return to Portland! <br><br>Wheeew<br><b><i>Tortoise <Tortoise73@charter.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta content="text/html;charset=ISO-8859-1" http-equiv="Content-Type"> Did you have a destination sign?<br> <br> In my limited experience, a specific destination reduces the "homeless"

I wish I had known that a month ago! I hitched a ride from Gov Camp to Portland.....which was as far as the guy was going. I then tried to hitch in Portland for 2 and 1/2 hours!!! I soon grew to hate Portland! I needed to get to Monmouth where my friends lived. I finally had to give up and call them to pick me up. I had my pack on but looked pretty respectable. Still I think everyone thought I was homeless because of the pack. I found Portland to be very anti- hiker......<br> <br> Wheeew<br> <br> <b><i><a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="mailto:ecpg@peoplepc.com">ecpg@peoplepc.com</a></i></b> wrote:
