Road trip

After dusting off our boots and pack we jumped in Glenn's car and headed down to Galt. We will resume our hike at Sonora Pass in 2 weeks. Rented a car and headed north. Did a quick day trip to Crater Lake, spent a night in Union Creek. Rolled into Corvallis to visit Luki and Wayne Hammond. Luki took us blueberry picking and we made fresh jam! Thanks Luki❤!

We then dropped in on Heather and Ryan McGrady in Gig Harbor, wonderful visit. Second stop was in Issaquah to visit Ray and Karen Skoff. We did a day trip into Seattle, had great street food and a fun evening in the adult "tree house" a crazy beautiful creation of Ray's! Back on the road headed to Astoria, beautiful drive to the Columbia River.

Fantastic dinner of seafood and if ever in Astoria check out 8 street Coffee for breakfast! Next port of call was Port Townsend! Explored town, checked out the marina and seagulls. Had delicious crab cakes and a comfortable overnighter at a renovated brothel. We made our way down the coast, a one nighter in Westport, almost one night too many! We dropped back in to visit Luki and Wayne Hammond in Corvallis and invited their daughter Eleanor to join us for the last leg of our hike, to our delight she agreed! We then called on our friends in Fairfax, Tim and Beth Sasan. Had such a wonderful visit with their family and truly appreciated their aloha.  We did a day in the city visiting Chinatown and of course the wharf. Love the bread!! Made our way back to Galt and Glenn so graciously drove us back up to Sonora Pass. Thank-you to Glenn and Sabrina for all their aloha and hospitality.
