Road Trip!

So I've taken to the road. My route is going to be something around the likes of Southern Washington (see pics below), Portland, the OR coast, CA coast, to include the Redwoods Nat'l Forest. Then San Fransico, maybe Yosemite, Kings Canyon/Sequoia Nat'l Parks, Death Valley, Vegas, Grand Canyon (north rim) maybe Zion and Bryce Canyon in UT, and then Salt Lake City. My first stops today, Mt Rainier and Mt St Helens were great. Rainier is beautiful! The park itself is almost 97% untouched, which is so beautiful. I got to Mt. St. Helens at a bad viewing time, when the sun was right above it, so it was hard to really see it. But still the destruction was evident, although things are definatly growing back full force. Tonight I am staying in Portland, and will be tomorrow night as well, I think. We'll see tomorrow!
