I'm back home in OH after my road trip from WA. And a week and a half after I got back, I went to Maine to visit Liz. So in the last couple of months I've been to the beaches of Olympic National Park (Pacific) and Acadia (Atlantic). Good stuff :) But yeah, I don't think I feel like posting a lengthy trip summary, so I'll just list where I went on the way back.
Started out climbing Mt. St. Helens. Next we went to Olympic NP and hiked up the Hoh River Trail up to the Blue Glacier on Mt. Olympus. Then we went to the beach and did a day hike near Lake Ozette (Cape Alava to Sand Point). Then came North Cascades, and the trail we were going to do was on fire. So we did another trail but hiked out early because of rain (despite being on the east side!). So we got to Idaho early, visited Julie's friend Simon, and then visited another of Julie's friends in Bozeman, Montana before heading out to Yellowstone. Backpacked in the Lamar Valley (wolf hotspot, but we unfortunately never saw one) and then headed to Grand Tetons for a day hike. On the way back east we stopped at Badlands NP for an overnight, and then spent nights in Wisconsin and Chicago (with Mike!).
Acadia was fun too; I drove up there with Dawn for basically a long weekend (her grad school schedule didn't allow for a longer trip; oh well). 15 hour drive, and we drove through the night, got there at 7 pm on Thursday morning and napped while Liz went to work. She's doing environmental education in the park.
Ummm...yeah those were really short, lame trip summaries but I don't really feel much like typing right now.
