Day 8 update - July 26th

This day we went from Walla Walla through Washinton state's wine country. It was amazing, the amount of grapevines was literally stunning. We then went to Mount Rainier national park and were able to see all but the peak of the mountain - still fully snow covered despite the 100 degree temperatures on the ground. We ended up in Seattle, Washington, where Lynn Bell (Steve's wife) joined us in the evening - the newest member of the team. Just for a note, we have been in the midst of a heat wave most of the way, Seattle radio said they hadn't had 4 such hot days in a row in recorded history! The pic is of Blake at Mount Rainier.
