NYT article on Seattle. Good read

Fred--this came across my feed today. Thought of you and daughter and upcoming trip. There might something useful here, or not. Hope all is well! Sean

Fred--I heard this on Morning Edition today, perhaps you did too? A book I'll probably get and read at some point--sounds quite interesting, in novel form. I was thinking that you could write up something like this about Floyd perhaps? Or SW VA or the Appalachian spine that you know so well . . . .

No I didn't hear this, but if I had been sort of listening I would have perked up hearing SQUIM (I knew that one bc you mentioned it in your call a couple of weeks back, and I couldn't find anything searching on Squim. Now I know why.

Fred--one more that I remembered tonight: The Hoh Rainforest--it's pronounced like the garden tool, hoe. The north fork is the main one where the ranger station is located--it's a beautiful hike into the rain forest. Just go far enough in--a couple miles if you can. The south fork is beautiful too, but it is a little more remote--no ranger station at the start, etc. etc. But still just as spectacular--some would say moreso. I like 'em both though. Enjoy!

Another link/story/recommendation/etc. Enjoy!

Fred - I stayed in these cabins once. They're quite nice, actually. On the La Push Road coming into this place, you'll find several trails that will take you to beaches that are all quite nice.

Perfect timing: our flights are set (may 16 thru 20) and I'm thinking of stops our two nights on the road. I'm afraid the photographer won't get to go this time; I doubt I'll be able to manage the Nikon and won't likely bother with the shirtpocket Canon that just won't do the landscape justice. THanks for this, buddy! -- Fred

Fred - Here's the Washington State Department of Transportation's Ferry's Homepage. It has info on routes, fees, time-tables, etc. etc.
