WE ARE IN..??
MOSES LAKE, WA!!
Heading north on Interstate 5, we stopped for a short visit on the retired Coast Guard Cutter Comanche in Tacoma, WA. The Comanche is now an operational museum owned and maintained by Coast Guard veterans and civilian volunteers from the Comanche 202 Foundation. Joe Peterson (middle person, at the helm) met us at the gangway to welcome us aboard and show us around.
Following the Comanche, we headed into down town Seattle to visit the site of some old recreational haunts. We then visited the town of Ballard on a drive by of the old house (9258 Mary NW) that we "Coast Guard Brothers" lived in 40 years ago. We understand from neighbors, that Amy and Dave live there now. Unfortunately, they were not home at the time, so we hope they won't be too upset that we snapped a picture of us sitting on the old front steps once again. These are the steps that I remember riding my motorcycle up and into the living room on occasions.
Finally, we then headed East on Interstate 90, over the Cascade Mt. range and over to Moses Lake, WA.

Mike Chandler, Nadia & Josiah
From Estacada, we traveled back to Portland for a Salmon Barbecue with Mike and Nadia Chandler. Their son Josiah kept us in stitches with an ever expanding command of his language skills.

Ray Weber (2nd from left) Coast Guard BROTHER # 3
Visited our Coast Guard BROTHER Ray Weber and Jane in Estacada, OR. They live and work in the Mount Hood National Park lands. We were absolutely blown away by the beautiful lush green and mountainous landscape we saw while traveling highway 224 along the crystal clear Clackamas River.
Bev Sallee and family
Visited with Bev Sallee and family in Bend, Oregon. Bev, sons Paul and Mark, plus grandchildren Skylar and Karsten met us at a local coffee shop. Bev paid for our bkfst, Paul filmed our departure, and Mark and children joined us for a short spell before we moved on to Portland.
