Quotes for $100, Alex

Well, after reading Squirrel's blog I guess the trip is about over. Who knew!

Here are some quotes from the trip:
“It’s warmer here because we’re closer to the sun.” Dennis, our campground neighbor in Yellowstone explaining why it was so hot. He also said, “I can’t go to bed until I count 10 stars,” then proceeded to count them.
When asked about the weather forecast, the young girl working at the forest service office in Sheridan, WY looked out the window and said, “Yeah, it might rain later.”
Our camp host at Indian Trees campground in Montana told us we were the first people from Tennessee he’d had all year. Really? And it's so conveniently located in Nowhere.
“Just Mother Nature moving the furniture.” Mrs. Bernard, our camp host at Mt. Rainier talking about the flood last November that wiped out roads and a campground.
An older man eating dinner near us at Lake Quinault Lodge said, “I’m going to stay up ‘till 9:30.” Our goal when camping is 10. Does that make us old?

We need more guesses about the person who knew somebody’s mother. Sorry Lori, it wasn’t MA. Otherwise the fab prize will go unclaimed. No purchase necessary, void where prohibited by law.

ah, the memories
We had a very nice stay at Lake Quinault Lodge...isn't that the one with a small rain forest and a sweet hike right across the dirt road? Look up Lake Crescent Lodge (I think on your way back from Olympic, but check in case I'm wrong)...really quaint lodge experience and a very gorgeous lake! I could spend days there. On the previous bonus question, I say hops or cranberries. Sorry I don't know the whereabouts of the various mothers in question.

No thanks
Since I am afraid the fabulous prizes may be linked in some way to the freeze-dried delicacies you make sound so very yummy, if nominated to play the trivia game, I will decline to participate. I got a nice can of chili waiting for you right back here at home.

Trivia question? did I miss it?
What the heck WAS the trivia question? Did my cousin in Washington State run into you guys? Her mother is June or Tess? She is my mom's sister. We have also lived vicariously by watching Silverchin's slide show - an awesome cinematic expeience. Some beautiful places, a lot like the panorama outside my classroom window. Oh, well, except my view is an asphalt parking lot with a dramatic view of the dumpster and newspaper recycling container. For excitement we duck bullets from the drive by shootings at the drug house nearby. For fragrance we whaft the odour of prepuberty boys and girls - intoxicating I can assure you. Enjoy your wildlife sightings and I will continue with mine. Have fun, stay safe. Silverchin is in wildlife detox therapy. Vingo

Lake Crescent Lodge is great if you're near there
This is really a comment on Rachel's comment. Lake Crescent Lodge is wonderful if you get into that part of Olympic National Park. Mark and I visited there this summer. We didn't stay at the Lodge, but we had lunch there while we hiked in the area. Lovely and looks like a great place to stay! The lake is marvelous! It looks like you're not lacking for beautiful vistas or great places to stay, though.
