Forks!

[urbpan]

Just a quick note from the road: We're in Forks, Washington, about to go to the Hoh Rainforest. I don't know why there's free wireless outside the visitor's center, but I'm not arguing. We're lucky to be here, considering that we basically snuck on a sold-out ferry, on account of it being a major holiday weekend in British Columbia. It meant waking up at 4 A.M., but we're here and happy about it. A little while ago we passed through the towns of Sappho and Beaver, a little disappointed we coudn't find souvenir tshirts emblazoned with the towns' names. Incredibly beautiful country out here, and after seeing a little bit of the rainforest on Vancouver Island, I can't wait to see more here. 365 Urban Species will resume in a day or so, with some wonderful Pacific species! Talk to you soon,

You can console yourself by heading up to Salem and buyoing a Bunghole Liquors shirt.

I hope you really enjoy what was my home away from home for my childhood years.

A little bit like being on another planet sometimes.

I am exceedingly jealous.

The Hoh Rainforest? That's an amazing coincidence.

I've never been there, but saw an ad for the place in a magazine, and thought it was so gorgeous, I tore it out and taped it to my wall, for when I'm really jonesing for some green, some trees, and moisture. I've wanted to go there ever since. I look at that photo ad at least three times a day.

And now you're there! Love it for me, will ya?

have a nice drive through my hometown?

[urbpan.livejournal.com]

I'm in it right now--I'm totally fascinated. We'll walk around a bit in the morning and look at some street art. What was it like to grow up in Aberdeen? For that matter, what is Juneau like?

[bodyparts.livejournal.com]

well i'm glad you like it so much!

it was pretty much like growing up in every other small town in the world, only with more grunge and druggies. most kids move after they graduate, but it's not so bad. juneau is pretty, but i don't like it here. there's nothing to do, nowhere to shop unless you're a tourist, and it's sssoooo expensive. it's nice to visit. lemme know if you come up and i'll give you a discount on a tracy arm tour http://www.adventureboundalaska.com

Right near the Hoh is the Quinault, which is also inspiring. Also home of the world's largest Sitka Spruce. I was in awe. Must go back soon.

Enjoy it!

Console yourself with a lovely "Forks" t-shirt instead. I love mine. ^.^

You were featured on LJ's "Featured Spotlight"! WOOT!!

[urbpan.livejournal.com]

I'm so featured! Look at my damn friends list. Of course, it has to happen while I'm on vacation, so I look like a total flake instead of a dedicated one post a day guy.

[cottonmanifesto.livejournal.com]

oh, hon. it's summer, people understand. :)

[jaysussaveme.livejournal.com]

oh my. i saw you featured and thought your journal sounded interesting...

never did i imagine you would mention the Hoh rainforest or Forks.

My mother, ex boyfriend, and i were driving to the Hoh from Seattle and our car broke down in forks. We had to stay in a motel there and it was hilarious. We rented a car and went to the hoh rainforest eventually but it was such a chore.

this brought back such memories....
thank you.
