Trip to Seattle -- Through the Moutains

Sorry for the slow posting over the last week, we've taken a bit of time for rest and relaxation on the Pacific Coast. But before we get back on track, I'd like to share a few words and pictures with you about our drive through the mountains from Denver to Seattle.Before this trip, we weren't familiar with the "Stagnant Air Warnings" that advertised the dank, brown air that refused to leave the inhabited valleys and foothills. We finished the drive thankful that we don't live at the foot of any mountains.

The mountain culture did appeal to us though.The last leg of our trip looked like something straight out of Dr. Zhviago. All in all, it was a long drive, but well worth the effort. Our arrival in the Pacific Northwest was a dramatic change from what we had seen on the rest of our journey. Much more to come...

  1. YOU'RE LUCKY YOU NEED CHAINS. DRIVING THROUGH THE ROCKIES IN WINTER CAN BE VERY HAZARDOUS!

    SAD TO HEAR ABOUT THE BAD AIR TRAPPED IN THE VALLEYS OUT THERE. WE'RE LOVING THE WEST TO DEATH.

    GLAD TO SEE YOU SURVIVED THE HUNGRY REDNECK CAFE, WHICH SOUNDS QUITE OMINOUS.

    FOR THOSE OF US COUCH POTATOES, KEEP THOSE POSTINGS A-COMING!
