I agree. However, I would try to hit 205 between 10:00AM and 1:00 PM or before 6:30 AM. I would also take highway 18 to Lincoln City and then down. There is a new bypass around Newberg that makes it pretty convenient. Once on 5 south, take the Champooeg exit and it will take you into Newberg and right to the bypass. The bypass will merge onto 99 for a quarter of a mile before you take the bypass around McMinnville.
