Washington


More than 1,000 year old Sitka Spruce



Olympic National Park, WA


 Ruby Beach, WA


Beard's Hollow, WA


Hoh Rain Forest, WA


Well, it has been an amazing trip so far.  I had to say goodbye to Sarah last night because she flew back to TN and I am continuing on this adventure with my cousin Rebecca, her husband Hank and their Australian Shepherd, Sydney.  In the past week we got to visit places like Portland, Astoria, Olympic NP, North Cascades NP, the Hoh Rainforest, the Pacific Coast, highway 101, Seattle, Skagit Valley and more.  We also met some incredible people along the way.  Today we are heading to Spokane, WA to stay the night with some of Rebecca and Hank's friends.  Tomorrow we head to Glacier National Park.

Portland, OR

 The side of this building says it all...with more homeless people than New York City because of its climate and programs, Portland has some weirdos.  We saw people talking to themselves, dancing in the streets, climbing into trash cans...it was very interesting indeed.


VooDoo Doughnuts is a well known Portland favorite.
