Homeward Bound

Monday, Dec 11 – Wed, Dec 13

Coming or going, the SEA/SLC trek is about 900 miles (most of them boring) and 13 hours (if you push it). The “kids” drove home yesterday. Greg & I will take 3 days – one of the perks of being retired. Nothing super exciting about the journey, but I do have a few pictures.

Tremonton (UT)… Dozens of trips and I've never seen the town, just one gas station or another. It’s a significant stop on the way to SLC because it means you’re almost there. Heading home, it’s just a requisite fuel stop. Just north of here we turn onto I-84 and head northwest toward Idaho.

IDAHO: Lots of boring highway, though some of it follows the Snake River.

(Did I mention boring?)

OREGON gets more interesting as you approach Washington.

                                                                                                                          

Ontario, Oregon
(Besides the pilots, I noted
several other men scattered
around the restaurant.
By the end of the meal, I
realized I was the only
female customer.)

Ignore the foreground. The 12 gentlemen behind are all retired pilots
who meet here for breakfast once a week.

WASHINGTON, at last!

Freezing fog as we climb after leaving Yakima Wed morning.

One last time... "And they built a road through this!"

Icefalls (noun 😃) as we ascend Snoqualmie Pass.

Sunshine, blue skies, and the Cascades are magnificent.
It's been a great year, but there's no place like home.
