      With the usual caveat that I'm terrible at crowd estimates, I'd say about 1,000 people are here throughout the parking lot right now and maybe like 1 million flags. The current plan is to drive into Portland as a huge caravan at 6 p.m.pic.twitter.com/gJdiuDAKjk

      The caravan is headed out, but there is still some tension at the starting area. Some spitting and a guy menacing people with a baseball batpic.twitter.com/SE6ilpVjcs

      The caravan route has been closely guarded for "security reasons," but they have released it now. Looks like it isn't actually going into downtown Portland. It's staying on highways.pic.twitter.com/KP71QPfThX

      The caravan is driving into Portland. A lot of people riding in the back of pickup trucks. Police are focused on keeping protesters off the roadway so the caravan can continue.pic.twitter.com/A3CiSa52Y4
