Sun at our backs



















We celebrated our 4th corner with dinner at a lakeside restaurant with friends of Czookie's. It was a relaxing finish to our traffic filled day. Why is everyone driving up and down I-5 on Sunday?

We took our time this morning heading out of Seattle. We slept late and then did things we had been neglecting, like laundry and bathing. We took a leisurely drive out of Seattle along Lake Sammish, enjoying the houses and longing to buy one. Then we got on I-90 with the sun to our back and we took off through the mountains. We were cool and enjoying the twisty roads in the snow capped mountains. We stopped for lunch at a place that crossed the Pacific Crest Trail (and thought of you, Lee). Then we warmed up as we came out of the mountains and stopped to strip down. The roads were straight through the rolling amber fields and Czookie and I lead with good speed. BMRPop managed to keep up. We had a Ducati join our threesome for a bit! He could keep up!! I don't think the residents in the mid Washington state can relate to their state slogan (the Evergreen State) - there are no trees in the middle of the state.


We stopped just over the border in Idaho!! Tomorrow we plan to stop just shy of Yellowstone.
