There have been so many great trip reports posted on the forum this summer that I feel obligated to launch my own humble submission. Nothing too exciting; just a drive to the Pacific Ocean and back from western Montana.
It was a great relaxing trip, and had a few different twists for us. I realized that this was the first time in ten years that we had taken time off in mid-summer to have a vacation. For a decade we have been taking camping vacations in the spring and fall to avoid crowds, and mainly because there is so much to do in Montana in the summer.
I also visited places like Mt. Rainier National Park that I had not visited in more than thirty years, allowing Mrs. Ed to describe the trip as the "Ed's Memory Lane Tour". Cynic!
I've got most of the pictures processed, so here goes!
