I'll let you know if I have any other questions.
Thank you, again!!!!

Crossing the Willamette is not a big deal. Did you get the private message I sent?
You can cross it at the Wheatland Ferry by Willamette Mission State Park. Or the Canby Ferry in Canby (steep climb up from the ferry, but very short). Or over Hwy 219 south of Newberg. Or the Boone Bridge over I-5.
Unfortunately, the most direct route is I-5 or Hwy 99, and they both suck.
