From Seattle to San Fran





















Lets hear it for the Northwest. I love it. Seattle is one of the coolest places i've ever been in my life, definitly could stand living there, Pike's place market, the harbor, the space needle, cool cool things. The forests here.... take what we have at home, make it grow 10 times faster and BOOM, you have what is here, we went to the Hoh Rainforest, yes, 'rainforest' (142" of rainfall anually) and it was spectacular, then we kept on trucking down 101, and have made it to the redwoods. Honestly there are no words to explain them. They were so amazing we finally just pulled over and started trecking through them, amazing what you'll find off the beaten path, fallen logs so big you can run across them like flat sidewalks, forest floors covered in shamrocks, hollow stumps big enough to lay down in. They had to make me leave.... time to look though the pictures and see what i can find.

Wow!
What a ride you guys must be having. Please don't lose Marcus in the big trees! Jon's roadview at the onset of the trip was great. Try to find the time for all of the quadfecta to post some insights. Let us know more about your Denver ideas and we can possibly help with a scenic route. And we probably speak for all the folks at home.....more pictures!!!!

Keep on truckin' in the free world,
Lee&Cathy
