This really hasn’t been a clean run through the state so far.
Those nice forests don’t show up for quite some time, just lots of fields and rocks, lots of rocks, so many rocks that I ran over a few and needed to find a place to repair. So I anyway, I head west eager to get to the green trees. While we’re at it, where the heck is all the green? It’s certainly not in this corner of the state, maybe it’s like that extremely flat part of Colorado that no one really thinks about when they picture the state in their mind. There better at least be a bay in Coos Bay, my next destination. That’s probably a bit of a misnomer, I don’t actually recall seeing a lake in Lakeview on my way in, but I do think I spied one on my way out of town.
I finally gave up and just called the tow truck to get me, not really the stylish entrance into town I was envisioning. Slamming on the breaks I quickly realized I was stuck and there was no way out. The trucker behind quickly sped forward keeping me from finishing my merge back onto the road. As I passed the far too friendly truck I realized the real hold up was a bus, who also finally decided to move just as I was passing on the right, not good. There seemed to be just enough space between that truck and a wooden fence. Seeing as this was taking forever and there was no end in sight I decided to make a move to pass on the side of the road. Well, they let them turn in between a near non-stop stream of opposing traffic. Seems the truck in front of me wanted to let everyone in a terribly long line of cars on a secondary road turn left in front of them before they would go. Right outside of town I was greeted with a traffic jam of epic proportions.
This is mostly where my luck ran out though. I arrived at the Oregon state line in no time at all. Once the morning sun dawned however I was treated to a lovely ride, mostly by my lonesome with very few others to spoil my peace. The real shame of it is I missed much of the scenery due to the whole being night time thing. After a good number of highway miles I headed towards my destination along 395. The trip saw me first heading east into Nevada, then back to the north and west again towards the southeastern most town I could get to in of Oregon (even if it is pretty central), via going back into California once again. Regardless I managed to score a trip to Lakeview Oregon on my first attempt. My drive around the city to pick up my first trailer of the trip reminded me why I hate the place so much however (at as it concerns driving a truck through it). This may literally be the only time in history that I didn’t totally regret having my garage there. In that time I was sent back to my home base of San Francisco. As I had planned a delivery where I last left off, I kind of slipped and forgot for a few months. That’s about as far away as one could get from Oregon from what’s currently available in the game, but luck was on my side. The last I remembered I was in Roswell, NM. I was all geared up to go, prepping mentally for a long haul. Just like last time I must first get there. So, this will be a pure pleasure drive to see the sites in Oregon and maybe deliver a few things while I’m at it. The pacific northwest is one of the few area’s in the country I haven’t personally driven, so unlike New Mexico I don’t have the real world experience to reference. The latest state to open it’s doors to players in American Truck Simulator is Oregon. We’re on the road once again and this time we’re heading to Oregon.
