Day 43 of the '11 road trip brought me back into Washington state and the beginning of the eastward journey home. I had spotted a bald eagle while cruising at around 70mph, but by the time I stopped s/he was long gone. Instead I turned around and snapped this little gem from across the highway. Northern and western WA is absolutely lovely. As I trekked east, however, it quickly turned to deserts and fields. 2011-2013.
