Day 1


WASHINGTON

The start of everything. Since I'm from here, I didn't take many photos, but we did get a good one before we left:


Temperature: 61 degrees F
Abnormal Roadside Items: (animals are roadkill)
Raccoon
Coyote
A crow eating an opossum
Red, flesh toned, and white buckets
Upright Hoover vacuum
Nursing pillow
King-Size pillowtop mattress
Pallets
Red Tailed Hawk
Giant beaver (!)

Abundant: hubcaps


OREGON

I've lived here for the past 5 years, but eastern Oregon is prettier than I thought. Hello!

Cool view of the sun through the clouds

Goodbye!


Temperature: 73 degrees F
Abnormal Roadside Items:
Tumbleweeds
Ice chest
Woodpeckers
Orange bucket
Bottles full of pee
Skunk (smelled but not seen)
Squirrel
Snake
Deer
Pair of shoes
Blue dumpster

We made it into southern Idaho that night, but Idaho will be covered in the Day 2 post to follow.

Favorite part of Day 1:
Mom: The Blue Mountain summit near Pendleton, Oregon - very Ireland-esque
Annie: Beaver roadkill!

Favorite quote:
Simultaneously: "......was that a beaver??"
