rv dreaming...straight outta Brooklyn

---Current location Corvallis Oregon --- 7/25-7/31 We came into Portage Valley in the early evening and found a great place lakeside to free dock for the night. The next day we decided to head to Whittier. The only road that goes to Whittier is a single lane train tunnel. The tunnel was originally built for trains but has been converted to allow vehicles to utilize it as well. Cars and trains take turns going through the tunnel.
