|
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Friday August 17th 2007 - The first day of my three day visit to thePortland Oregon Area, I rode all three transportation forms of the Tri-Med Pubic Transit System; Bus, MAX Light Rail, Portland Street Car and the Portland Aerial Tram. I stayed in a motel, south of Portland, across I-205 from the Clackamas Town Center Mall. |

Walking across I-205 to the Clackamas Town Center Mall, from my motel, I looked north and viewed the

Portland Aerial Tram
We rode the Aerial Tram to the Kholer Pavilion Terminal on Oregon Health & Science University's
Marquarm Hill Campus and back. The fantastical views of Portland is worth hour+ ride to downtown,
on Tri-Met bus, Max Line and Streetcars. I missed the free ride on Aerial Tram by one day.
