Have been sent this as a teaser to get me State-side again.

Pretty part of the world with great coffee. Tempting.

I quite like the look of that Scott, shame it wasn't in a warmer state though

Coffee. Beer. Quote unquote "wilderness." What's not to love? (No, I don't need to know the annual rainfall for Washington state, thank you very much.)

[Scattamah]

Yup...good coffee in Wa. Beer is ok too. I've done a little bit of riding on the Olympic peninsula but this should make up for it. Time off worked booked...now just a case of tickets and getting there. And maybe a little bit of training too. Maybe I'll see a Bigfoot? *laughs* Or some bears.

Some of those places on the route sound familier Scott

Do you know what sort of winter they've had this year, is there a possibility of snow still being about higher up?

[Scattamah]

I'm hearing murmurs that some of the highest points have been rerouted due to persistent snow. There are some pictures of Hyak with maybe a foot of snow still on the ground but it is supposedly melting away reasonably quickly. Warm out east already.

Edit: there are a couple of permits that have to be acquired - I'm sending in for mine early next week.
