Packing a lunch we climbed down to the river level and hung out in the mist for several magical hours before returning to Seattle.Saturday http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-321364.html Travelled to Snoqualmie Falls about 39 miles from Tacoma with Heather at the wheel of her delightful new car her dad Dennis a little twitchy at the car's proximity to the traffic in front Walked to the base of the falls and stopped for a bite to eat on the way back. Did I say bite You don't get bites in USA half a buffalo more like it wow I thought we'd never eat that BBQ when we get http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-227270.html Just been to see the Snoqualmie Falls and it is very picturesque. There is not a lot there but the atmosphere is very tranquil and well worth a visit.The water fall has a drop of 270 feet and lands in a 65 foot deep pool.There are two hydro electric plants there. The construction of the first was started in 1898 and the second added in 1910. Between the two stations they generate nearly 42000 kw http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-199952.html Since my photos are on my laptop and Melissa's photos are on her laptop we have to make one entry each to upload photos.

Something Melissa failed to mention is that Sasquatch aka Bigfoot is a resident of these mountains. I hoped our wildl http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-15332.html We camped at Silver Springs last night. The girls and I woke up at 7am and put Dot out and went to the bathroom. Then we went for a walk through the center of the campground where a crystal clear creek flows out of the ground. The girls bellied down to drunk out of the creek. the trees there were bigger than the one in our camp. Maybe 300 years or more in age. We are heading to Seattle to dr http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-15225.html We were up early and on our way from Victoria to Snoqualmie Washington. This necessitated a two hour ferry ride between Sidney to Anacortes Washington. The ferry ride was really gorgeous as it weaved between many large islands between Vancouver Island and the US.The drive from Anacortes towards Seattle was smooth but the highway traffic was thick. We didn't get into any mountain driving until http://www.travelblog.org//North-America/United-States/Washington/Snoqualmie/blog-14770.html
