First day on our road trip to California - a stopover in Vancouver. These are the "Lions" Mountains in North Vancouver
A typical spring day in Vancouver
Daphne & friend Ron on the Lynn Valley suspension bridge, north Vancouver. About 200 ft above a roaring river
New Volkswagen minivan?
Due to its petite size, it's known as the "Kinderwagen"
First stop in Washington, Coupeville on Whidby Island
Ken at Rosario Straits State Park
We stayed with our friend Clif near Seattle. Sorry, no pix of his lovely wife Melissa
Next stop is the Boeing factory in Edmonds. These are all brand new aircraft waiting to be delivered
Boeing Dreamlifter. One of the largest airplanes ever made. Able to hold the body of a 777 inside. That's a regular 747 beside it.
On the road to Mt. St. Helen's. The GPS shows some confusing info as we pass under a spiral section on a steep climb.
Daphne catching the rays with St. Helen's behind. Much regrowth here since we first saw it a year after the big explosion.
Before it blew its lid, this was a near perfect cone much like Mt. Hood in Oregon.
Mt Hood from about 100km away, near Silverton OR.
We visited our friend Annie in Salem. She took us on a day trip to Champoeg State Park on the Willamette River. Boston wanted to go for a swim.
The Silverton area has many old style covered bridges.
Many different styles also.
Springtime in Oregon farm country is very colourful
More bright crops.
This area also grows Christmas trees.
We found an off the beaten track parka long way up a gravel mountain road
I guess the sign maker can't space his letters well.
The rain forest here is much like around home on Vancouver island.
Sring time is always good for flower photography
Daphne found a mini throne in the middle of the forest.
So much greenery in this narrow canyon.
And a picnic in the shade.
Oregon wine grapes ~ Pinot Noir
Tasting room at the Pudding River winery

Boston is really relaxed in his back seat driver position.
The Oregon Coast at Lincoln City can be quite fresh and breezy in the spring
