Adventures in Cosmic Destiny!

A visit from an old friend, who now lives in Los Angeles; turned into a spontaneous adventure in the Pacific NW.

Started off by playing hookie & some Twin Peaks geekery... visiting the locations in Snoqualmie & North Bend, Washington.
Followed by magic encounters in Portland!
After a bad car accident upon our arrival, we decided to keep positive & not allow it to ruin our adventure. In fact, I believe it added.
It was such a fun & memorable trip!  Filled with plenty of stories & jokes to think back on.  I already miss my friends & living like a hobo with them.  Next stop on the adventure merry-go-round.......
