Traveler's Adventure, Part Deux

The other day I asked what time it was, and then I had to qualify is that Mountain or Pacific Time? The guy looked at me like I was from outerspace and said PACIFIC real slowly. He smiled and then said, with eyebrows raised and head tilted down, *you must be travelers.* Made me feel like the Muray family from *A Wrinkle in Time* (THANKS VERDE FAMILY!!)...like we had time traveled to a parallel universe. Fun.
We're moving on from our transition from driving, driving, driving to resting and downsizing in Ellensburg. Yesterday we were able to think about the second leg of our trip and how we'd like it to look like.
Here's the plan...we wake up real early tomorrow and breakdown the campsite, load everything but our backpacks and a few bags into the trailer or donate it to a thrift shop in town. Then we carefully travel west up and slowly over the Snoqualmie Pass to Seattle.
We need to get the Orange Crush, Silver Saint, and Super Subaru loaded at the shipper...hopefully early to mid-morning. Then we need to walk about 2.1 miles to a Seattle Metro bus stop that departs at 1:51pm going to downtown Seattle. How long do you think it will take us to walk 2.1 miles? I'm thinking about an hour. We'll ride one bus that gets us pretty close to where we need to go, and then walk about 0.3 miles to the Shuttle bus stop. We'll take the Quick Shuttle from downtown Seattle to downtown Vancouver where my rocking cool cousin will pick us up and take us for our second adventure in his awesome West Vancouver Tree house over looking Horseshoe Bay.
I'll write more on June 1st...if we make it! Wish us luck!
