Default Nothing but blue skies

Decided to do a little jaunt today.

Olympic Penninsula.

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=road+...ed=0CAgQ_AUoAQ

Tacoma, Gig Harbor, Purdy, Allyn, Shelton, Hoodsport, Lilliwaup, Brinnon, Quilcene, Across the Hood Canal Bridge, Poulsbo, Winslow. Ferry to Seattle and back to Tacoma. If you feel like looking at the map. About 220 miles

Ha! Good eye, Teeks. I never even noticed that. I think they added an "r". It could be Hoserdish?

I think it's a Canadian thing

I'll go back and show the kid who works there how to download a spellcheck app for his iphone

Cool Ride. Taking my 'Cane on a ferry is on my bucket list. I know it sounds cheesey.

Great pics by the way

"looks like you had a good jaunt wooferdog, some stunning views and decent weather"

Indeed, Wheelnut, indeed. If I'd stopped for every stunning view, I'd still be out on the road and these are not even the best Washington has to offer.

"Taking my 'Cane on a ferry is on my bucket list."

You must do that, Indy

Next tentatively planned ride. North Cascades Hwy. See the map link. Interstate 5, north to Mount Vernon. Take a right onto Hwy 20 to Winthrop. 224 mi. one-way. Haven't and probably won't plan the route home

I wish I knew you were going. I would have had you pick up one of those Blue Berry shakes for me.

I fancy one of them big fat juicy 'Horserdish' burgers! Nice and fresh


Woof you lucky dog! I love that part of the world, there's something in the air that just makes you feel good. Only ever briefly visited Seattle and Vancouver and the time change is a killer, but that whole area is just stunning. Thanks for the pictures.
