Washington, June 2022
We picked up the camper in California in early June, and bee-lined it up to Washington. We continued to strike out with weather, having to bail on both our Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Margaret permits due to snow in both. We’re mostly sticking to lower elevations and enjoying the cool weather, verdant forests, time with friends, and seemingly endless sunsets.
