Seattle, WA |
This is the first big city of the West Coast, Seattle, Washington. As usual, it's raining. Almost like a storm is coming... After parking at a REI, we went shopping. Seb decided to buy a new raincoat that seemed way better than the old one. Ready to put it to the test, we walked outside and... there is the sun!

Mount St Helens, Wa. |
We tried to see Mount St Helens but mountain weather is unpredictable. This is where the road ends in ''winter''. With a 15C temperature at the bottom we had a hard time believing it but I guess we will have to come back to see it.

Crescent City, CA |
Crescent City was a nice quiet town on the west coast. Our first town entering California from the north and our first beach.

Jedediah Smith Redwood State Park |
The park is amazing with its narrow dirt road going through giant trees. It's almost unreal. It is just about 10 miles long but really worth the detour.

Big Tree |
This is one of the biggest tree we saw on the west coast. It is really impressive to think that they were already there when the vikings discovered America.
