WELCOME TO MY BLOG!

In January 2001, I started a five year project to Visit Every City in Washington State. Why? For no particular reason other than to satisfy my own curiosity. Now entering the 9th year, the project has surpassed the original scope to visit every city. How did I come up with this idea? Let me back up a bit.

On a weekend trip to the Washington Coast with my sister and our parents in 1986, we drove through several small town and communities; which got me thinking, "I wonder how many cities and towns there are in Washington State and has anyone ever been to them all?" Fourteen years later I decided that I would.

With help from my friends and family members, I managed to visit all 493 cities within the five year project deadline. During this five year period, I decided, since I was already driving every where, to also Ride Every Ferry Boat and Drive Over Every Mountain Pass. Once this was complete, I felt I couldn't stop now, so I added a Phase Two (Lighthouses, Hydroelectric Dams, USA/Canada Border Crossings, and Tribal Casinos) which was done in two years. Soon followed Phase Three (State Parks, State Heritage Markers, and County Fairs); which I am currently working on.

This blog will contain stories of my travels and experiences, writings about my favorite cities and places, Washington State trivia and facts, and whatever else falls out of my head and onto my keyboard. I welcome your thoughts. Enjoy!

New Mountain Pass

I was contacted today by a visitor to my website. He wrote to let me know about a mountain pass that he knew about which did not show up on my website. McNeil Pass, located in Douglas County on the McNeil Canyon Road, appears to be around 3,100 feet. From what I understand from the gentleman who emailed me, the pass is marked with a sign so at least I'll have something to take my photo with. This means I won't have to make my own sign as I have done on several of the smaller passes I have driven over during this project.

    Yes I do make my own signs. I'm filling in for WSDOT since they don't always post pass signage.
