It's an awesome hike which I highly recommend. I also hiked the Plains of Abraham via Windy Ridge this past Friday. Another completely worthwhile hike. And I love 19 Mile House! Perfect post-hike meal. I've only lived in the Pacific Northwest for five years, I moved here from Los Angeles so I'm still enjoying the newness of a lot of these places. Thanks for your entries, I love seeing what else is around to explore. :)Sashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07711590526906058536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-20706529448275376772010-08-27T23:53:44.444-07:002010-08-27T23:53:44.444-07:00Hey Barry, yea, I really enjoyed the trip and woul...Hey Barry, yea, I really enjoyed the trip and would go back and go more slowly to take it all in.<br /><br />Vic, sorry I didn't get online to accept your comments sooner....but I'll take two! Gosh,you've only been back for 2 years and have already been twice!<br /><br />Anne, thanks, I think that berry cobbler place snags a lot of the people who drive up to the observatory, it's a wonderful throwback to places I remember as a kid on road trips.jillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-46063135784193031592010-08-27T20:43:11.695-07:002010-08-27T20:43:11.695-07:00Well, I thought I posted here earlier, but I don&#...Well, I thought I posted here earlier, but I don't see it! Anyway, I am glad you decided to take the side trip! I've been up there twice (and also flew over it once in a small plane) and each time I learn more. Excellent job that they've done. I've also had wonderful berry pie at the same little eatery. They have interesting stories to tell about the day St. Helens blew, too. <br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-81179462246774714082010-08-27T16:24:14.321-07:002010-08-27T16:24:14.321-07:00What a great side trip off that Seattle to Portlan...What a great side trip off that Seattle to Portland slog!

I've been twice, both time with kids, and I get something new each time. Also have stopped on the way down at that wonderful eatery and indulged in berry pie, too ... they have interesting stories about what happened the day St. Helens blew, too. They did not hear the blast, because the sound apparently didn't "bounce" into that valley, but they began to notice the river out back going bonkers (at least that is what I remember they told us).<br /><br />VictoriaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7691739068295652166.post-30701429165997146722010-08-27T14:13:11.917-07:002010-08-27T14:13:11.917-07:00Okay!
