From Oregon to Washington


now we are already 5000 miles (8000 km, see map) with the RV on the road and already have many impressions of the country and the people won. How much patriotism is turned on Memorial Day (29.5.) Everything was flagged, houses, gardens, boats, bicycles, backpacks, road edges in the forest, and of course the cars. We felt like on in Switzerland 1 August. But a lack of critical voices are also here, we saw somewhere in Oregon at the rear window of a driving ahead the glue PW: idiot
Somewhere in Texas a village is missing from.

At the mouth of the Columbia River
The drive along the coast north takes at the mouth of the Columbia River to an end. Here the state of Oregon has established several parks, which recalls the expedition of Lewis and Clark from 1804 to 1806. These were commissioned by President Jefferson, shortly after the States United States States of France had Louisiana (then a territory to enter into Canada included) bought gone off, to go on the upper reaches of the Missouri to the Pacific - about what we both do now on the southern route, only that we are a bit faster!
At the mouth of the river is Fort Stevens visited: fortifications during the Civil War, the English-American War, the 1st and 2 World War II. Here we also learn that the Japanese on 21.06.1942 with U-boats attack against this bulwark we also started several hundred paper balloons (sic) high rise with firebombs in Japan, had the low were then driven by the wind within a few days over the whole of North America and should trigger fires.

mosquitoes
On Columbia River, it is moist (the picture shows a side arm: the Lewis and Clark River). The Lewis and Clark have been and Expeditions ¬ members must learn Winter1805/06: their clothes, moldy, they own almost. This year it rained like no living memory. We are warned immediately on arrival at the campground from mosquitoes. Esther is jealous of it, doors and windows closed and always keep entering and exiting the mosquitoes to prevent the intrusion. These mosquitoes finally take but only to them, I was immune, thanks to her. However, I think the American mosquitoes were emancipated and make ran also to men. In the morning, then in fact the result of: Esther has gotten not a single spot, whereas I am more ankle. Somehow I have a special attraction to females. But my therapy: ignore attacks from females (and there are only mosquitoes) just can not say if it was attacked and not scratch, even if it itches! During the day we are hooded men against mosquitoes well protected (see picture). Against this fear even the sight of mosquitoes.


Whitsunday
It rained all night with rain. The heavy raindrops pattered on the roof of the camper and let us wake up during the night forever. I dreamed of any war and machine gun fire.
Now in the morning makes the rain gradually, and the asphalt road to be dry. Go out again on children's cycles and Scooters by children, all again with a helmet and, as always in his pajamas, but this time with a yellow rain jacket.
While continuing the trip to the southern shore of the Columbia River along it brightens and the state of Washington in Seaquest State Park at Silver Lake, 70 km west of Mount St. Helens seems, even the sun again.

Mount St. Helens
On our journey to the southwest of Canada and the northwestern United States in 1999, we had visited the Mount St. Helens from the east side, and had been fascinated by the vegetation, which slowly after the disaster of 05.18.1980 but recovered. time because of an earthquake, the peak fell into the valley. The volcanic neck was exposed and away in a massive pressure wave swept rock fragments, gas and water vapor within a radius of 15 miles everything. The entire flora and fauna, which was not under a protective snow cover was destroyed. Now we
drive from the west on a new road over bridges and impressive walk so close to the mountain as we can. The extent of the devastation we are also highlighted. It was the ejection volume, just 'a cubic kilometer of material - the Vesuvius in 69 AD, was ejected 4 km3, an erupted around 4500 BC volcano, I believe it is called Manzana, even 150! Esther would have been all too happy to Spirit Lake to count the trees that are still in the lake. 1999, there had been a few thousand! But the journey is too far, and we are focussing on good information that give us the various Visitor Center of the National Monuments. Moreover, one can easily misjudge the time for hiking, there is usually no time frame, but only horizontal distance information in miles. will leave everything in the vicinity of nature: starting to sprout firs, alders and willows bloom, all sorts of flowers to revive especially the red Indian Paintbrush (see picture), blue lupine, with its colors still barren landscape. Even Wild strawberry blossom again.
The destroyed 607 square kilometers of forests are used for forestry purposes but has since been reforested majority again. For days we drive through forests that are managed intensively, especially in Oregon and here in Washington State. The hilly forests are felled in small sectors. They look like sheep, which are only partially shaved. Then again - grown - according to scientific methods. After about 35-40 years of growth the trees to be felled. Continuously we encounter on the roads over long truck with logs. We drive past the industrial plants to see piles of wood chips, which we then return to move parks and forest trails. It is used all. The houses are built mostly of wood: a framework of wooden slats, can be fitted into the chipboard. The houses remind us a little of the cardboard houses that we have crafted as children.

At # 101 we drive on the eastern edge of the Olympic NP on the shores of the bay from Seattle along. This route we find more beautiful than the Interstate 5 on Tacoma-Seattle. At the foot of the highest peaks of these mountains, which all year from ice and snow covered, even if the highest of them, Mount Olympus, not even reached an altitude of 2500 m, we stay. On the banks of the canal that separates the mainland from the peninsula, we observe water birds, including plovers romp (Killdeer, family Charadriidae) and seals, the sticking out their heads from the water to orient themselves to, and in the water just like puppies. The atmosphere is wonderful, especially because the sun warms the clear sky appears above the deep blue sea, and we again can wear short dresses. We pick wild berries for the first time. Esther is in her element! They are the orange Salmon Berries. The Indians have until salmon (salmon) caught when they were ripe, hence the name. Since we are on the following morning still alive, we know that they are non-toxic.

On Friday we will leave the United States. We take the Ferry from Anacortes (north of Washington), many islands over to Vancouver Iceland. Next time we will have a map of our last leg of contamination.
