    I’ve got to do a reset in or near Portland, Oregon. Anyone got a “secret” spot they know of to park? I could also do a hotel that has truck parking, but can’t seem to find any. Plan B would maybe be parking on a side street in an industrial area, where I could Uber it out. Greatly appreciated. Haven’t been to Portland in years otherwise I know the spots. Lol

    if your spot is very secret if you don’t want to post on here, just send me a private message. :)

    I did a 34 at the Jubitz about a year ago. Plenty of parking.
    The restaurant had gone downhill but the hotel was still nice and good beer selection in C-store.

    You can go watch a movie at Jubitz and have popcorn or ice cream. I haven't been there in several years but hope the movie theater is still open. They have motel also.

    I took the city bus from Jubitz and went to drag races in the summer. I took the cable car thing up to view point up at the hospital. Seemed like odd place for a cable car to go but good view of Portland.

    I've done a couple of 34s parked on the curb in Wilsonville. Can't remember the street name but there were daycabs parked there semi permanently. Jubitz is pretty cool too if you like being in a small city.

    What was wrong with the restaurant? It was always expensive but I don't mind that if it's good. I was at Jubitz or T/A Coburg 4-6 times a month in the past. I haven't been there in 2 years. Last time I was there they had just finished the remodel of the Bar.

    The service was poor, being ignored by the waitress and the food just wasn't that good compared to the past. She brought my coffee with her hand over the top of the cup like she was palming a basketball. A middle aged guy with a sour countenance that looked like he was from Eastern Europe was managing it.

    Jubitz for me as well. Much better than a run down Petro or TA. Restaurant was good, lot was fairly clean and they have porta johns placed in the parking areas in case you can't make it to the building.

    You can take the bus from Jubitz to tram/train stop. Get on tram/ train to Portland International Raceway. Today you could just get Uber and it would be faster. Something to do weekend if anyone stuck on the weekend.
