After a night of puttering around Lake Union on a dinghy, we are about to set out on our two-week car tour of nine states, seven National Parks, two State Parks, three cities, one dam, and one Granny's house. We're pretty excited.
The first leg of our trip will take us across Eastern Washington, the Idaho panhandle, and into Montana, where we'll camp. We will be camping for most of the trip, in fact, which should be fun and hopefully won't get us et by bears. I love camping, provided I can sleep on a thick enough air mattress that my back doesn't get whacked out and I can stay warm enough. I love waking up in the morning to the sound of birds hopping around my tent wall, and to the smell of the morning air in an undeveloped area of woodland or desert. And I love campfires, and camp food, and everything but trying to get dressed in a tent I can't stand up in.
I also really enjoy hiking, and we'll get lots of opportunity to go on some good scenic hikes.
I assume Paul also likes these things, since he didn't raise any objections, but who knows.
Well...it's about time for me to take my shower so we can hit the road. We need to stop by the grocery store and fill our cooler with ice and perishable food so we don't try to live off nothing but beef jerky and dried pasta.
