That just about wraps up the adventurous aspects of the trip.
The bus ride was hazy and uncomfortable but followed the beautiful Columbia River. In Portland I was exhausted but I got to hang out with Shar for a few hours before catching the train to Seattle. I had never ridden the train from Ptown to Seattle and, if you don't need a car at the other end of the journey, I can't imagine why you'd ever drive. The trip is just stunning. I used to do the Seattle to Vancouver leg all the time and that's incredible too. But this was great new perspective on long familiar land. Get this, it actually made parts of Tacoma look cool. Even if you have no great reason to go, do it for a day trip or something. Factoring in traffic, it's actually faster than driving too.
Not how I wanted the trip to end of course but it was exceptionally pleasant. Sort of as if circumstances were doing their best to make up for the bummer injury.
is that the first shot of the bike? I don't remember seeing it before... and damn, you got some big sacks
ReplyDeleteand google reader just picked that post up today... weird
ReplyDeletehmm, I suppose it is the first I posted. There are more. It was too much trouble to post pictures most of the time from the road.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I cheated on two of these last three posts. They're dated from when I would have posted if I had the head space to do it. They actually just went up tonight.
Who is 'me' By the way?
