Back home In Washington and the final trip statistics.

Going over Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

I made it back safe and sound. What an adventure. Thanks to all who put me up and kept me well fed. I enjoyed visiting with everyone. All those snacks everyone gave me came in handy along the road. I don't have many pictures of my last leg of the trip because as soon as I got into Washington it was a blizzard, but at least the roads where clear. The weather report for the pass to get over the Cascades to my side of the mountains was for lots of snow. However when I got there it was snowing but the roads were just wet. All the snow covered trees looked beautiful, felt like Christmas.

The Columbia River near Vantage, WA in the middle of the state. Where did all the snow go?

Home -The trip is complete, however, the stories of the journey will live on forever.
