More drinks barkeep, if I've maxed out the Discover use another one.
After leaving a most excellent social gathering near Seattle myself and Mrs
Aitch headed for a glimpse of Mount Rainier. We took the dreaded I-5 until
exit 111 and made a short detour to Northwest Harley-Davidson, where we
managed to purchase a much needed T-Bag Decker which was needed to carry all
the junk that Mrs Aitch brought with her to SeaTac the day before! Then it
was across the street to Walmart to get some of lifes little necessities,
not one of which was a beer :-(
After our shopping chores were done we jumped back on I-5 before taking SRs
512, 167 and 410. We admired Rainier from a distance, took a bit of a
detour up a mountain to a ski resort to answer the call of nature. We
stayed on 410 at it's junction with 123 and headed east. Went through a
couple of national forests, nice road not much traffic, and ended up staying
the night at the Squaw Rock Resort. Resort is perhaps a bit of an
exageration, it's more of an RV site with cabins, but nicely done. I'd stay
there again.
Cheers all

Just wait until you have to rip all the foam padding out of it to pack
everything in.
Sounds like you're having a great trip.

Crap, Snag - there were tornadoes just a few miles east of me
yesterday afternoon. I'll ride in any kind of rain, but I'll drive the
Pontiac if there's stuff like this severe weather front that's been
stalled over St. Louis for the whole week. Lightning and thunder kept
me awake much of last night, too.
Next week looks good, tho.
