Through Portland Oregon, slight detour as I missed a junction due to staring at a cable car, so had to navigate through down town.
Into Washington Sate. First impressions - beautiful.
Picked up our cabin keys, some cross country skis.
Our little cabin was actually very little. One double bed in the kitchen cum living room. It's really sweet with a great hot tub out in the back. Surprised that the US has not petitioned the olympic committee for 'hot tubbing' to be a recognised sport. If they do so, I see gold looming large.
On reflection this is definitely the kind of place you see in movies where the college students arrive, think everyone is a hick, coo over how quaint the cabin is and then all get systematically chopped up by the local bar owner and his mates. Will see what happens.
Stocked up on food for the festive few days.
This place feels like Twin Peaks!
Look round Rainier National Park to get our bearings.
Popped into the 'Highlander' for a pre prandial beverage. This place is definitely Twin Peaks. Charming locals all rather large and rather sozzled. Couldn't help notice the sign that the current owners are looking to sell up. Think this would make an ideal investment for Pall Mall Partners - will ensure Julia points out this business opportunity to Michael, Mark and Ted.
Home to the shack for Christmas Eve dinner of boil in the bag Trader Joes Lentils and of course a hot tub.
