Across Washington to beautiful Sequim

Friday November 30^th

We were sure to get an early start today because there is another pass to worry about before we get to Seattle.  I thought we might run into rush hour traffic through Spokane but we hardly slowed down.  Then across the wheatlands of eastern WA down off the plateau across the Columbia and up the foothills to the Cascades.  We stopped in Cle Elum for lunch at a barbeque place and it was pretty darn good. 

Again the pass was nothing to worry about since the temperature was about 40 and the road was only wet in places.  That was Snoqualmie Pass; we usually go over Stevens Pass on US-2 because it puts us closer to the ferry terminal that we use to get across Puget Sound.  Stevens Pass is a thousand feet higher so the conditions there were “snow packed and slippery.”  Fortunately once we came off the mountain and into Seattle, traffic was moderate and we were able to get right up I-5 and to the ferry terminal and right onto the ferry without a wait.  Within a few minutes we were on our way.  I decided to try to get my computer fixed at a computer place in Port Townsend, which is about 30 miles from Greg’s house in Sequim, WA.  Had a hard time finding the place even with all the help the GPS gave us……   Dropped it off, had supper at a Mexican place and then headed for Greg and Terye’s home.  We recognized the house by the trailer parked next to the garage……  Trails end for a few days!
