Off to the Races
And by races, I mean off to camping in the Northern Cascade mountains of Washington State. Seattle has been beautiful--with attractive men, delicious food, good friends, and great boutique shopping (which I have yet to partake of, thank you very much). I want to move here immediately--but I realize that I tend to have these feelings every place I go. It's something about the *newness* of a place that always gets me. This time last year I was ready to pack my bags and move to Istanbul.
Our car is packed and we're ready to go. Can I survive 4 days in the mountains with only one long-sleeve shirt? Only time will tell--fortunately, Mr. Bastish is here and a newly minted wilderness emergency responder. I have a feeling he's secretly hoping I will catch hypothermia so he can put his new skills to the test. (Incidentally, he is a lovely golden color and I can't tell if it's from spending so much time in the sun or just the dirt he's collected from living in the woods. My bet is on a solid mix of both.)

Have a blast and please don't die!
