Also, considering changing flight back to be on Saturday instead of Sunday to give me a day to recover. Need to think more on this...
| Tomorrow: going to Olympic National Park, then headed south - hope to be in OR tomorrow. Updated map - hopefully will have new pics tomorrow |
|
| How do street musicians determine who gets to perform where? |
|
| Lunch @ pike place market - this place is pretty crazy. Saw the 1st starbucks which remains pretty humble. |
|
| Science fiction museum forbids photography. Boo... |
|
| Dropped object protection on top of the space needle seems remarkably lax. Will probably be nervous about this upon exit. |
|
| It's nice how even though it's a fairly big city, seattle still has trees lining the streets. Waiting in line to get tix for space needle. |
|
| Plan for tomorrow: spend the day sightseeing in Seattle, then head to Olympia to spend the night, followed by Olympic NP on Monday. |

| Arrived in seattle - traffic is terrible, particularly for a saturday night. Is there something going on near the stadium? |
|
| Maint reqd light came no but hertz said not to worry and that i'm not liable if car breaks. Good thing this is timestamped. |
|
| Got a car wash to get rid of 4000+ mi of bugs (and deer - yuck!). Should probably call hertz to see if they'll pay for an oil change. |
|
| I always assumed the whole state me washington was green and covered in trees, but the eastern part looks more like wyoming. |
|
| Most states use a silouette of the state as their highway symbol. WA uses GW's head. It took me a sec to figure it out. |
|
| 4000 miles! |
|
| Need to clear off some more HDD space again - I should have brought my external. Headed out now to try to get to Seattle tonight. |
|
| Bright sunny forecast today for Seattle. I'm about ready after rain throughout the rockies. |
|
| I'm also realizing that as I make another time zone crossing and haven't used an alarm clock for weeks there may be some reentry problems. |
|
| Ended the night in kellogg, ID. Drove later than I really should have, and will probably sleep in. |
|
| Ran over a dead deer going 80 mph - forgot how low the prius is. No damage to car, thank God. And deer was either already dead or sleepi ... ... |
