Leaving Seattle

Our trip began on July 1st, 2005. 62,309. The starting mileage of the trip. Bryan and I drove north from Seattle on I5 to North Cascades National Park. We left pretty late (3:00), so we got there just in time to get a campsite in Newhalem, near the entrance of the park. $12.00. Bryan made a fire and of course I toasted marshmallows – the best way to start off a trip! We opened a bottle of wine (1998 Ferrari Tresor) tonight, which Bryan has been saving for a special occasion for a very long time.

Quote of the Day: “The best thing about this trip is that it's a Loop Trial,” Bryan.
