Just talked with a co-worker whose husband was hiking in the Columbia Gorge at about 2:30 pm and saw racing teams, vehicles and a helicopter in the vicinity of Bridge of the Gods. He wasn't sure what it was until she called him about the Portland rumor. Could it be the race?

I don't know when they put it up, but it sure wasn't there yesterday! :yess: I got there in time to see the camera crews packing up and loading equipment into vans, but a fellow teacher saw two couples ride the zip line down to the island. This was between 2:30-3:30 this afternoon. There were helicopters circling the site, three camera crews at and around the bridge, and they apparently paid the owners of the Charburger restaurant to close for the day so they could secure the parking lot which overlooks the river and the zip line. There were six yellow cabs at the parking lot where the access to the island is, along with more camera crews, and the officer that I talked to said they always stage it so that people don't know for sure how many couples are left. Does that sound reasonable?
The other teacher talked to one of the cab drivers, who said he picked up two people at the airport from an overseas flight, took them to Newberg where they "ran around and looked for a clue", then drove them to Cascade Locks. For some reason someone asked him if this was Fear Factor, but he said it was more like a scavenger hunt. Apparently he has not actually seen Amazing Race himself, so didn't know anything about the usual process.
My speculation is Timberline Lodge for the finish?

Slowhatch:
Gman and others know more about this than me, but if the difficulties arise in the last leg (starting in Moscow), then the visa might be the sticky part. Credit cards are held by production until tickets are purchased, and I'm sure some staffer holds photocopies of all the passports for racers and crew. But Russia is one of those countries that require exit visas (see here). The visa is tied to the individual passport: you lose the passport and you have to re-apply for a different visa.

Good info--kind of scary! :ascared
If that is the case, then perhaps we need to be thinking about which team is perhaps NOT seen in Portland at all--whether as a decoy or not.
If the team was unable to make it to the finish line for this kind of reason, then it also seems likely they would not be able to be on hand just a few hours later.
If we use that criteria, that would seem to let out Andrew and Dan who were clearly seen in downtown Portland.
patlini:
going off this previous leg
I could see Kelly and Christy losing something essential
