As usual, I am way behind on posting pictures from my trip to the east coast in June. I spent the last 3.5 days of the trip in New York City, specifically in Manhattan. What a fun, busy, crazy city. The first night in New York, my friend and I … Continue reading
After a lot more time than expected, I’m finally getting the photos from my vacation posted online. Here’s the first round, from the day I spent wandering around some of Washington, DC. Unfortunately, the weather wasn’t that great, so I didn’t get nearly as many photos as I’d hoped. A … Continue reading
On the way back from Portland, I stopped at Fort Vancouver – which is really not so much a Fort as a restored trading post. It’s been restored to nearly the state it was in the late 1800’s when fur trading was big in the area, and is now maintained … Continue reading

After over 9 hours on the road yesterday, I got home around 7pm. At which time I promptly unloaded the truck, dumped everything on the floor, and crashed in front of the TV for a few hours before going to bed. So today I get to spend some time unpacking, … Continue reading
Finally made it across the desolate, soul-sucking stretch of I-90 that is eastern Washington, where the most exciting sight is 14 miles of fenceline with crop names and the only thing to do is turn up the the stereo and watch the miles tick over on the odometer. Now I … Continue reading
