The tentative plan is to make it as far west as I can today before I get too tired or it gets too dark. Maybe Vernon, maybe Kelowna, maybe Sicamous. You never know. Tomorrow I'll head South-west into Washington state and make my way to Mount St.Helens for a night or two.
Mount St.Helens has always held a wierd facination for me. It was one of the most dramatic erruptions in North American history. I still remember as a kid looking at the cover of National Geographic and reading their coverage. As much as I love going to visit the Pacific Northwest I don't think that I could live in that close to an active volcano but on the other hand, when it's your time, it's your time.
After a night or two in the shadow of Mount St.Helens I'll make my way back up North to Tacoma for a weekend hanging out with some friends of mine scuba diving and helping them celebrate their housewarming. It should be a fun weekend. I have to confess that the two things I'm looking to most is camping at Mount St.Helens and going diving. My hope is that while diving in Seattle I see a couple Pacific octopus (or two).
The oil has been changed in the bus, and it's all tuned and ready to head out on the open road. I just have to haul ass home after work today and get her all packed up.
