There are several folks locally who make the trip, like us, as often as they are able.
Our progressive bishop has made comments showing himself to be an enemy of tradition. A few years ago he put the skids under the parish with the best supported Traditional Liturgy in the diocese by assigning a modernist priest.
There is no doubt in my mind that as long as this Bernardin protege is bishop there will be no more Indult Masses. Each year our Masses become more liberal with such as "picnic Masses", "children's Mass canon" being said at weekend Masses, Rock and other pop-slop music.
If it gets much worse I will stay at home watch Mass on EWTN and make the trip to Portland when possible.
I will not condone sacrilige with my presence.

When Jesus said, when I return shall I find, do you think, faith on earth? was he making a joke?

How could he question whether there would be faith on earth after the great apostacy, and also predict that the gates of hell shall not prevail against the Church?

It's not me saying this, because the topic has been addressed by real scholars and theologians very well throughout the centuries. The corruption of the one true Faith will have to come from within the Church, from the top down. If we can't see that today, then we are one of the blind.

Welcome to the great apostacy, that "must come first."
