Pacific Rim, That's What I Said

Okay, so I'm talking Pacific Rim in the U.S., but who wouldn't want to hit WA for 4-5 days, then head down the coast to Redwood, then up through NV to the last living geyser in that state, and end up in the Salt Flats? Well, I think it sounds fun, and no matter what anyone says (Ajani), I'm calling it the Pacific Rim trip (though, props to Kevin, since he said it first, and more/less planned the whole trip).


Is it possible to have winter allergies? If not, I've gotten a cold, which never happens. Either way, it feels like someone's got my head in a vice. I'm not really enjoying it.

For now, I'll post a pic and give a short list (because they all make me smile):

3 weeks to Puerto Rico (thx, D!)
10 weeks til summer
15 weeks til Pacific Rim trip


And a great hike today...the water was the clearest I'd ever seen it. Here's a pic over the edge of the blackrocks (where I dropped my bird in a jewelry box)---it's about 15 feet down to the water. What you see is the rock floor, through about 25 feet of water. Ah, Lake Superior in winter.
