Seattle, WA (Jul 25-27)

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

It was 8 hour drive from Valley of the Rogue to Seattle. The car broke down on the side of the highway but we were luckily able to fix it after 2 hours. We arrived to Joe’s place in Seattle and set up our tent in his apartment to dry. We met up with some of Joe’s friends and went out for some beers.

The Valley of the Rogue, Oregon (Jul 24-25)

Monday, July 28th, 2008

Woke up at 5:45am and drove for 12 hours along the I-5. We made it about 1 hour into Oregon and stayed at a state camp ground in the Valley of the Rogue. We did a short and uninteresting walk by a river and then crashed in our tent for a relaxing night with the sound of semi-trucks and cars driving by on the extremely nearby highway.
