How strange. I looked up Gold Beach, as I'm not familiar with the area at all, and it is way back south, towards San Francisco - about 300 miles south of Portland.

Doesn't *sound* like Seattle was part of the plan at all. And that's a whole lot of land to cover between Portland and Gold Beach. Not looking good, that's for sure. Prayers for the Kim family.

I'm not far from Gold Beach. Temperate weather, and no reports of slides or road blockages recently. It's about four or five hours to Portland and no major passes in between. The coast road (as opposed to I5) can be tricky. But seldom if ever icy. Even in Portland the weather that was so bad in Washington, wasn't much there. The Seattle area where it was bad, is five or six hours north of Portland.
