Da Semi-Boonies, Part One

Last Saturday we had to do an appraisal in Warren, Oregon. Dunno where that is? It’s right next to Scappoose, Oregon. Dunno where that is? It’s about 27 km from Portland. Dunno how many miles is dat? Mahalo to my favorite km to miles converter, I can tell u. 16.7778 miles!
