any "no mountain passes" route from portland to chicago?

[binxtheweimer]

that is exactly what i did when i drove west. i had a friend meet me in california and we drove up the coast, sharing driving, and my partner took the dicier sections.
i've thought seriously about doing that again, though i don't have anyone at this point who could make the drive with me.
this has been looking like a solo expedition, much to my chagrin.
i'd gladly pay someone to help get me to the eastern side of the mountains.
i've just been at a loss as to how to even start to approach such an issue.
i'd even imagined that i might be able to find a trucker in need of a few bucks in eastern washington or oregon who might sign up for a ride through the mountains, a nice little payday and a return train ticket back west.

Take the train or fly and ship the car.

Have you ever been to Portland? We have a hill behind the city center that folks on the east coast would call a mountian.
