Route Change - Mt. St. Helens

After a little deliberation we have again slightly altered our route. Take a look at the route section above to see the new map, the change is that we will now be driving past MT. St. Helens and Mt. Ranier in washington. After talking it over Jeremy and I decided that neither of us had ever visited either of these two sites and that we had better take the opportunity while we had the chance. It only added about 35 miles to our track. We also have decided to cut off of the PCH at Tilamook and make a B line for portland. If we have time on day two we will go all the way to Seaside, but for now we decided to play it safe. My one regret is not getting to see Cannon beach again, but I have seen it before and so maybe on another trip I will get to visit the beach again. ( Maybe we will make good time up the coast and get to see it anyhow?)
