Campsite! We came upon the town of Skykomish. Very damp and mossy...giant slugs galore! Met a nice couple who was around my age. They were traveling in a cute little orange VW bus. They stopped by to say hi and we had a cocktail by the fire while it rained on us. The hubby was from Colorado and they suggested some great things to do [and where to covertly park] while in Seattle and Portland. I'm kicking myself for not taking a photo of them, but I feel a little awkward asking strangers if it's okay for me to take a portrait of them. This is a fear I need to get over.

It rained all day and night and I can't tell you how much I love listening to rain drops on the roof of my van. It's a simple pleasure and I relish it. The next morning, I stopped at a tiny little cafe/post office, sat at the bar and ordered the best eggs and hashbrowns of my life.
