Northwest Adventure..

I am back in Sunny Cali after a week in the Northwest. Portland was a great city and Seattle, from what I saw of it, was pretty alright, too. Wooo! What a trip it was! I actually saw Frances before she heads off to Rotterdam but..get this..no pictures..I blame her of course and a little townie pub she brought me to.."Kangeroo and Kiwi". Judging from those I've met from these two places of the world, I should have known better. While seeing Mt. St. Helens was awesome, I really enjoyed driving along the Oregon/Washington coast on the 101.

I loved the small towns we stumbled upon, the winding roads cutting through the greenest forests I've ever seen. It really made me happy at the recently overturned 'Roadless Area Conservation Rule' which prevented logging in 34 million protected acres of National Forest.wooo! Oh well, at least I got to see it;) as Jon Stewart said, "Run, Forest! Run!". Way to go, Prezzie.
