Washington and Oregon
For our fifth road trip we traveled to the two states in the continental United States that we had never visited. We flew from Nashville to Seattle in September 2022. From Seattle to the Olympic Peninsula, Mt. Rainier, the Columbia River Gorge and Mt. Hood, Silverton, Bend, Crater Lake, into the edge of Northern California and up the Oregon Coast back to Seattle. This was our longest trip, 40 days. You can find the website for our trip here: https://outoforegon.weebly.com
