We were steaming along in a long line of 10 Syncro's in the Trout Lake/Mt.
St. Helens area last week of July for a few days (Syncro Safari '09 arranged
by Jim Davis). I wondered what the locals thought of our "herd" and just
what might be going on. Lotsa logging going on in one area (we must have
seen/driven by at least a dozen log-haulers going in the opposite
direction). One water truck driver was having a very bad day and as he went
by me (I was last in line) I clearly heard him yell the "F" expletive in
plural.
Link here to some of the photo's taken in the area:

"set".

I thought White Salmon was a beautiful little berg. Very upscale looking
community, I thought. I forgot just how beautiful the NW is. Used to live in
PDX and haven't been back since the mid-70's. I'll go back. Great camping
but I have to admit that the recent heat wave made it hard for me to enjoy
the scenic beauty that lives there. Fantastic campgrounds!! Wonderful river
running through Trout Lake, which we used as our cooling off spot. Made the
rest of the day enjoyable.
