OR to WA

We left Portland on Tuesday morning after attending a geocaching event hosted by a cacher from France.

I handed a travel bug to him to take back to Paris
and continue its journey in Europe

a few more people showed up than are in the photo
6 of them were from France
we had a great time visiting in a parking lot of a mall


then we crossed the Columbia River and headed north


trees lined the interstate most of the way


Mount St. Helens


we stopped at the visitor center, but did not take the 
2 hour drive to the next visitor center


met many logging trucks on the side roads & on I-5


Mount St. Helens from the Visitor's Center

all the haze is from the forest fires
the Ranger told us they are small fires, but the ash
is becoming very noticeable


Mount Rainier


Morton WA, known for logging


an area that has been harvested of trees


our home for the next two days


ending the evening with another geocaching event
a couple from Sioux Falls SD was in attendance
our CV friends Jon & Sherry
and a new to geocaching couple
