Morning everyone . . .


72° -still!- was supposed to drop into the fifties. Had a good and quick thundershower in the evening.

Looks like you could drive I 90 from Seattle and catch I 25 at Buffalo to return to Casper and avoid Tacoma. Unless you like to explore more driving through the smaller towns.
A friend wanted to go to the Boeing factory tour some years ago and wanted me to come up with a route, would stay in Kirkland see the factory then ride East to Lolo pass and then catch US 93 through Idaho back to I 80 in Wells before returning to where I used to live.

Good morning . A sunny 98 today,
If you want a very scenic route home. Highway 84 just north of Portland OR., off of Interstate 5 takes you along the Columbia River to Idaho.

Morning. 58 degrees with a predicted high of 73.

Tomorrow morning, we leave my daughter's house for the coast. We'll stay couple of days to let my grandson experience the Pacific, then back to the sagebrush steppe. We haven't had a drop of rain since we've been here, but naturally rain is predicted for the coast tomorrow.

Tacoma, Seattle, traffic sucks evenly. I've come in through Seattle and down 18 to Tacoma, and it is all a total goat rope. This time, I'm going to swing south through Yakima and catch I-90 at Ellensburg. It's longer, but it's something new and not so much traffic. I hope.
