September...Seattle...Saturday...sunny! What more could we ask for? Off we went, and the end result was a more than thirteen hour marathon of nearly 500 miles. Once again, we set off with only a general direction in mind, and we came home with a list of "Ooooh, we gotta come back here...." places. And once again, we were astounded at the difference between western and eastern Washington. It's truly like two different countries.

HERE is a link to information about the Cascade Loop Highway, including a map of our route, and following are some thumbnails of some of the places we visited and the things we saw.
