Unfortunately, I don't get an early start on my drive to Spokane. Instead, I end up spending the morning and early afternoon adding content of the website. I've made a lot of progress but I'm still behind the 8-ball.

Finally I hit the road. My trip to Spokane, WA will take me through some of the most scenic parts of Washington State. Had I let my GPS software calculate the route on its own, it would have taken me on the major highways, something that I try to avoid because you usually don't see a whole lot. So after some nudging, I get the software to take me through the North Cascades via SR-20, the North Cascades Highway.

On my way out of Vancouver I encounter a yard filled with strange orange plastic fencing. It seems the owner is protecting something but I'm not sure what exactly it is.

I'm on my way to the Canada/US Border. I find myself starting to worry a little though, hoping I won't have to go through another van search like I did when I entered Canada 4 days earlier.

And at this point I have a 4-day stubble on my face and head, certainly that isn't going to help my case.
