Seattle!

We left Wilbur early and started down more long, straight roads through miles of fields.  After a while, we started passing buttes and and then more fields, but finally we started seeing rocks and then the mountains.  I began looking for a campground, and finally found the Lake Pleasant RV Park in Bothell which is north of Seattle.  It’s really nice and we talked with some friendly neighbors.  We also booked this campground for the next two weekends, and we'll travel to other areas outside Seattle during the weekdays.

We called Alan and picked him up after work at Nintendo and drove him home to Seattle.  We were happy to finally see their new apartment, and Yuka cooked us a nice dinner.

And, it's HOT here!!  We've been using the heater at night almost every night, but got to Seattle and it's hot and not raining.  Who would have thought?  Alan and Yuka had to turn on their A/C for the first time, and most people in Seattle don't even have it!

Since Alan has fast Internet, I was able to upload my buffalo video from Yellowstone.  You can see it here.

We kept seeing huge rocks in the middle of the flat fields.
They were left there by glaciers!

Another forever road...

And another

Power lines from the Grand Coulee
Don't they look like stick figures?!

Starting to get into mountains

Columbia River again

More nice rocks

Baxter decided to take a nap in the sun

Beginning to see snow-capped mountains

You can tell I like snow-capped peaks!

First glimpse of the space needle.
I was driving, so took this in a hurry!

And looking straight down from the 25th floor!
Doesn't this make you dizzy?
