Mount Rainier as seen from Tacoma, WA

I’m staying with Jeff in Tacoma (lagomorph on VWVortex). He has a very cool 77 Rabbit with a TDI – turbo diesel engine from a newer VW. It is VERY fast and in VERY good shape.

I took Boeing’s factory Tour. Craig (OorsciroccO on Vortex) tagged along. He works for a Boeing contractor that specializes in the production tooling.

Unfortunately, Boeing does not allow cameras or any sort of electronics on the tour – so my camera was in a locker the entire time.

I drove to Kerry Park, just northwest of the Seattle. The skyline is pretty dang cool.

Part two was a much greater success. The Forrest service officer even checked up on us.

We  went out to the Washington Mountians to go shooting… Then the Police showed up! 🙂   They were cool though – they just told us that we couldn’t shoot so close to the high-tension power lines, and they told us a good area up the highway to go shooting.

Posting from Olympia, Washington.

I’m driving to Olympia, Washington, and we stopped at Mount St. Helens to take pictures. The volcano itself was covered with clouds, but there were still cool photos to be taken.
