NaBloPoMo - day 19
Nov. 19th, 2011 04:36 pmToday, we took a road trip mostly just to get a feel for Snoqualmie Pass, since we're driving over it in January. And so the dogs can get used to long distance travel in the Subaru.
The pass wasn't too bad. There was a lot of snow, but the roads were clear in most places.
Our destination was Ginkgo Petrified Forest State Park, but we didn't stay there long. The interpretive center was closed and not a soul was around.
I couldn't leave without seeing the petroglyphs, though. Those were cool.
The dogs didn't really like being in the snow. I think we were there maybe 15 minutes total, then we drive a few miles to another state park. Dead there too. We didn't even get out of the car.
And that was it. We turned around and headed back home.
I have some other pictures, but I'm not sure they turned out. It was snowing pretty heavily and it was foggy over the Columbia River. I'll look at them tomorrow. I'm beat. And Lance was the one who did the driving. I guess I didn't sleep enough last night, but long trips also wear me out. And our days on the road when we move will be even longer than this.
