Day 26
Today marks halfway through Road Trip for a Cause! Thanks for tagging along this far with me. Today is a small travel day, but we also had some chores to do; we had to fix the tire that got a screw in it since we’re near a town with shops. We dropped it off and had some Thai food while we waited. The abundance of delicious Thai food up here is astounding and much welcomed.
Then it was on to another filming location! This time it’s Snoqualmie and North Bend, where the 1990’s show Twin Peaks was filmed. We made a stop at the beautiful Snoqualmie Falls and hotel that served as the stand in for the exterior of The Great Northern in the show.
These two towns had a lovely backdrop of striking mountains and it was surreal recognizing parts of it from a show I’ve watched many times. My favorite stop was Twede’s Cafe, which served as the Double R Diner for the show. It still looks remarkably the same, but with added memorabilia and merchandise for weirdo’s like us who are coming in in droves every day to see where pie’s go when they die and get a damn fine cup of coffee.
I got a great shirt here by a local artist and in addition to the must eats, also enjoyed a burger that came with some of the best fries outside of the homecooked ones I made myself.
Moving on down the line towards our next lodging, we stopped in Roslyn, WA, which served as the filming set for another 1990’s TV show, Northern Exposure. Husband was more excited about this one than me, but it’s till neat to see everything in person.
Still standing are the famous mural and Radio station subbing for Cicely, Alaska. I wish we had been there earlier to get into some of the shops, but I did find something that I’ve really enjoyed on this trip: Grass! Regular, soft, cold, wonderful stretches of grass. This may seem like a silly thing to get excited about, but being trapped in Texas since October 2020, grass is something you really miss. You can’t just take of your shoes and walk in the grass in Texas. You certainly can’t sit or roll in it easily unless you want bugs, grass burns, and pokey things to take you over immediately. Ah, green grass! I just sat with my bare feet in it for a while.
I had originally done my State of Washington Junior Ranger book at Riverside in Spokane, but had a lot of trouble for about a week finding anyone at the various sites we’ve gone to, to earn the badge, but I did finally get it!
This badge is dedicated to The Ewing Family. I have thought a lot about all of you in the last few days and so happy to call you family. Before there were kids, we have taken some fun trips together, and now, with two smart, sweet kids in tow, hopefully there are more to come. Thanks for donating and letting me play with your toys when I’m over at your house!
