Holy cow

Glad I'm not needing to drive from one side of WA to the other, like, say Seattle to Wenatchee...

I'll go Stevens Pass, US2! Or not...

Oh, I know... Blewett Pass, US97! Er...

Ah, right, I-90 to Vantage, then up the Columbia River! Uh...

Okay, *FINE*... Seattle south to Portland on I-5, then a couple hours along the OR border, then back up north along the Columbia River, RIGHT? 'Fraid not.

Canada, anyone??

Hope y'all are staying dryish.

On the plus side, this is just stunning.

by the way, what is actually in that building?

That's the Salish Lodge - you can stay there, and yes, they have rooms overlooking the falls. :)

(And kick-ass breakfasts...)

Mmm...brunch at the Salish Lodge.

I haven't been up there in ages...although I guess that now isn't the time to head back.

I'm sure if you could get there, they'd welcome you with open arms. I don't think they're doing much business these days.

Nice eye! You got it, and the pie diner is up the road in North Bend. :)

You know, assuming you want to eat pie that has died.

I prefer the pie in Beaver. The only way to get to it is through Sappho.






I am not making this up. (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=beaver,+wa&sll=37.0625,-95.677068&sspn=45.736609,55.107422&ie=UTF8&ll=48.0642,-124.317856&spn=0.07583,0.107632&t=h&z=13)

And if you keep going from Beaver, you get to Forks, which will be of invaluable assistance as you eat your Beaver pie. Also, sparkly vampires. Whether they would be a help or hindrance on the pie front I cannot say.

I can say that the photography around Forks is amazing:
