Some Guy: (Walking up the trail, then stopping.) This is incredible.
Me: Yeah, it’s really nice up here.
Guy: There’s nothing like this where I’m from.
Me: (Guessing he’s from Minnesota.) Where you from?
Guy: Seattle.
Me: Huh.
Guy: Nothing like this in the Cascades.
Me: Really?
Guy: We don’t have any glaciers in the Cascades.
Me: I’m pretty sure you do.
Guy: Well — but they’re all spread out.
Me: Huh.
Guy: Yeah.
: Thanks -- that's seriously high praise. Thanks for the book tip also -- now I just gotta figure out how to get back to the islands again.
: Excellent video! Great photos and the song is perfect for it! I like the ending too, but don't use that Hawaii book for serious planning. Buy Kathy Morey's books on hikes and strolls in various Hawaiian Islands.
: Thanks for posting a great picture of Lower Spokane Falls. I was there in March or April 1983. It was nice to do a virtual visit again after all these years. No purple gondolas back then... [...]
: Thanks for stopping by! This map is pretty close to how it actually worked out: http://48stateroadtrip.co m/2009/05/48-cross-countr y-road-trip-itinerary-the -whole-thing/.
Living in Seattle is different than being from and actually knowing the region. Didn’t you just drive up to a glacier? meh…
I don’t know how you *avoid* driving up to glaciers in Washington.
