The Hathorns and the Trests have made it out WEST!

Well friends, we have made it to Washington!! We have been on the road for going on 15 days and we have finally made it way up here! We will start heading home tomorrow! (YUCKO!) To catch you guys up to speed, we left Utah and headed towards Idaho! We camped in Idaho one night in a place called Glenn's Ferry...it was a BEAUTIFUL camp site on the snake river! From there, we made our way up into Oregon. Oregon was nice and COLD...but the scenery definitely made up for the cool air! IT WAS GORGEOUS! We stopped the first night in a place called The Dalles. It was right on the Columbia river and right on the INTERSTATE! VERY LOUD! On our way in we stopped in a town called Pendelton and went to a Farmer's Market! IT WAS SO NEAT! We made our way the next day up to an awesome waterfall....the 2nd tallest in U.S. I believe....It was Multnomah Falls right outside of Portland! It was a very steep hike but absolutely worth it! From there we drove on through Portland and on into A place called Mazanita, OR. Our campsite was about a 1/4 of a mile from the beach and the AMAZING Pacific Ocean! IT WAS SUCH A SIGHT! We left there and the next day we headed out towards Forks, WA...yes all of you Twilight fans will recognize that name! Dawn and I were so excited about this stop...boy was it a let down. It was a bit on the trashy side! The campsite was in the Olympic National Forest and it truly was the most LUSCIOUS scenery thus far! Moss carpeted everything, and gigantic ferns were everywhere we looked! This site was also right on a river that was so pretty and would have been a great swimming opportunity if it weren't so cool up here! Today we drove on into the coolest town by far...Port Townsend, WA...WOW what a NEAT PLACE! It is a port city that was PERFECT! We had THE best clam chowder EVER, and we had some really amazing seafood! We then took a ferry across the Puget Sound and drove down into Bellingham, WA and that's where we sit as I type! IN A HOTEL ROOM!!!!!!!! We are so tired, so exhausted, so ...... you name it.....We will begin our LONG journey home tomrrow! Hopefully we will be home in about 5 days or so! What a journey!!!!!! WE HAVE MADE IT WEST!!!!!!
