Narrow gorges, & tunnels as below.  We had had two pleasant days (with only a little drizzle at Grant's Pass) but now it had settled down to rain & we went on thru to Portland arriving there at 11 P.M.

The old Watson Restaurant still keeps up to its standard - & we had steamed clams & fried razor clams.
