In a typical year, the majority of northbounders reach the CA/OR border 
between July 20th and August 10, with a relatively small percentage outside 
of that three week window. In 2005, the main wave of northbounders was 2-3 
weeks behind that by the time they got to OR. I would suspect that this will 
be a more typical year as far as timing goes.
