As we left the Tsunami warning road signs behind, we were greeted with new road signs that advised where we could get volcano activity information! Oh, what I`d give for the simplicity of floods and mosquitos (LOL).Our time in the home state of Mount St Helens was split between Seattle and Blaine.
In Seattle the rain continued. The day after we arrived, this is what we awoke to. Thank goodness we picked a site that was on slightly higher ground.
On the first clear day we hopped in the truck and toured the downtown, starting with the Space Needle.
From the top of the Needle we were able to get a great view of the city, including
the skyline
Quest and Safeco sports fields, and
house boat city!!!
From Seattle, we headed further north to the recreation area of Birch Bay, near the town of Blaine just south of the Canadian border. Again the rain, wind and cool temperatures continued, which left little to do and see. Jim and friends hung out......
until it was time to head for home and our next NHL game at Rogers Arena, home of the Vancouver Canucks. Hopefully we`ll have clearer skies.
