More beautiful weather and scenery east of the Cascades. Wife and I did Bellingham>Carson (via Yakima)>Wallowa Lake (via John Day through the Blue Mts)>Spokane>Colville (with a detour in Metaline Falls for some paddle boarding on Sullivan Lake). Headed home tomorrow via WA20 if I can contain myself lol. I have a habit of creating convoluted routes with the goal of eventually driving most of the major roads & highways in the northern third of WA. I love everything from Winthrop to Ione, seriously can't get enough of it. I completely agree with what SmokeLayerFan was saying earlier, there's something about the contrast between the wide open meadows and ponderosa forests east of the Cascades that really tickles me. Makes for some great views. Eastern WA/OR is such an underrated region in general.

.10” now on the day!

June 2021 redux except hotter since it’s July now!

25.6°C now at 4:36 AM. Very comfortable for summer standards. I'm now in the city of Al-Khor in northeastern Qatar. 31°C right now in Doha airport lol! Extreme UHI + coastcuckedness.
