A few parting thoughts as we leave Seattle and head home. It is really hard to believe we have reached the mid-point of our trip and now we will start to work our way back East. It was too bad we didn't get to see Sean because he was out on the USCGC Midgett but we did enjoy our visit with Karen.

Seattle is much hillier than I every thought it was . . . it reminds me of Pittsburgh. I wouldn't have a stick shift car if I lived here or Al would be replacing the clutch all the time.
One more thing . . . .we noticed little coffee drive thru places on corners all over. We understood why after this weekend . . . lots of rain and damp weather.
We left Seattle and headed South with the goal for the day to visit The Evergreen Aviation Museum . . . home of The Spruce Goose.

Lots of pictures of planes. This was a very interesting museum and The Spruce Goose is a Huge Plane!
A Coast Guard Plane! How timely.
The Sopwith Camel
Planes, Planes everywhere.
Al reading about a Curtis.
A Flying Tiger
A stunt plane actually hung upside down!
The white plane in the foreground is a replica of the Wright Brothers Plane The grey one is a partial shot of the Spruce Goose.
The Plane in the background is a full size B17 the foreground is the tail section of the Spruce Goose
The tail section of the Spruce Goose and a full size helicopter.
There were lots of planes inside and outside but it started raining while we were in the museum so we didn't get to walk around the outside exhibits. It is a very well done aviation museum.
Tomorrow is a driving day to get near to the entrance of Yosemite National Park. Creswell, Oregon to Mariposa, CA . . . .on the road again.
