Took a slight detour home from Yelm which extended the 2-hour tour to 8-hours+. *yawn* Damn it's lovely here in the PacNW. Had drafted wonderful tales in my head of today's drive w/great music and several fab hikes for you folks, but'm just too danged tired now. So, if'n a picture's worth 1K words, I'll tell you a lot behind the clickie place. Hopefully so...not sure though 'cause I've never tried this thingie (Flickr) before and don't really know how it works. Oh, for those of you who care, I followed this route today:

5 - S to Chehalis (where I finally succumbed to the Rainbow Falls State Park sign I've been eying for ages)
6 - W to Raymond
101 - S to Seaview
103 - N to Long Beach then S to Ilwaco
100 - Loop through/around Cape Disappointment (oh-so-not-aptly named for my purposes)
101 - S to Seaside (through Astoria)
26 - E back to Portland

EDIT: And because one of the perfectly timed songs today (cued up spontaneously to match fab views) was indeed The Rainbow Connection...

Nah, this detour was yak-free. Full o' birdies though. I kept seeing Elk signs but no signs of Elk.
