THIS IS WHAT AWAITED THE MILE WALK TO THE NORTHWESTERN MOST POINT IN THE USA.
IT WAS WORTH THE EFFORT.


ANOTHER SHOT OF THE SAME AREA. STUNNINGLY AND RUGGEDLY BEAUTIFUL




THIS IS THE GROUP FROM MISSOURI THAT WAS ON ITS WAY TO SAN DIEGO, THEY ARE - FROM LEFT TO RIGHT -
STARTING CLOSEST TO THE CAMERA: STEVE GREER, KATRINA GREET,TIM CRAWFORD, BECKY CRAWFORD,
EDDIE CALLAHAN, MYRA CALLAHAN, BRENT CARR, BRENDA CARR, FAYE RICE, RICHARD RICE, AMY PHILLIPS AND
MARK PREYER. THAT'S MY CUP OF COFFEE IN THE FOREGROUND. NOTE MY CREAMER CARCASSES!!!


LAKE CRESCENT ON THE WAY OUT PORT TOWNSEND


COMING IN TO PORT TOWNSEND. NOTE THE HOUSE CLEVERLY DESIGNED TO LOOK LIKE A LIGHT HOUSE. THIS
WAS OWNED BY A FELLOW WHO SPECIALIZED IN SALVAGING SHIP WRECKS. NO ONE COULD QUITE FIGURE OUT
WHY HE WAS SO DAMN LUCKY...... (KIDDING, I AM KIDDING)


MY COUSIN'S PUBLIC HOUSE IN PORT TOWNSEND. VERY COOL INSIDE AND WITH GOOD FOOD.


ANOTHER SHOT OF THE SAME PLACE


NOT THAT IT MATTERS, BUT THIS LADY TOOK A NEW TWIST TO THE
"BABY ON BOARD" CRAZE. THIS RAISES ALL SORTS OF QUESTIONS,
NONE OF WHICH I WANT TO HEAR THE ANSWERS TO.


SEE FIFI. SEE FIFI ON A LEASH. SEE FIFI'S OWNER AND A PASSERBY LOOKING AT SOMETHING
FIFI LEFT ON THE SIDEWALK THAT WILL MAKE SOMEONE VERY UNHAPPY SHOULD THEY
STEP IN IT. NOTE THAT FIFI IS STANDING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAMN STREET. I WAS WAITING
FOR THE LIGHT TO WALK TO THAT SIDE OF THE STREET. I WAS HOPING FOR A LARGE CAR OR TRUCK
TO COME BY, BUT NONE DID. ANOTHER MISSED OPPORTUNITY. OH, FIFI'S OWNER THREW SOME
DIRT ON THE "DIRT" INSTEAD OF CLEANING IT UP. WHAT A TURD.


I HAD A REQUEST FOR A PICTURE OF WILSON. HERE HE IS. HE HAS BEEN SITTING THERE SINCE I LEFT THE
WASHINGTON D.C. AREA TO GET BACK TO THE COAST. OH, HE LEFT BRIEFLY DURING A RUN DOWN HIGHWAY 1
IN CALIFORNIA. I RETRIEVED HIM, THOUGH.

  As you turn the corner and head home (as if you have not been headed that way all along!), I have replaced my screen saver with one of the NE corner photos. I hate to admit it Mark, but you take some great shots - even with your duct tape camera. While my rear end is not taking the beating that yours is, through your eyes I am enjoying the trip as if riding along side you.
  
  Don't give up on the dream - you are not alone on the ride.

  So is everyone in Washington a princess when it comes to their coffee? Like those Starbuck's sally pants?
  
  I'm quite concerned about the issue of Fifi in the street. Is that what you did with Georgia when I went to the volleyball game? Dangle her in the street just enough...? You're sick.
  
  Love you!

  Oh Oh - Mark! Hopefully this reaches you before you have to backtrack too far. I was just checking the Rand McNally, and somehow the whole state of Alaska got overlooked! Their is a further Northwestern Point in the USA where you can almost shake hands with the Russians.
