21. I've spent most of my BC time in Coastal or Eastern BC, but it all seems beautiful.

I’ve lived in Spokane half my life and Seattle the other half and made 6-12 trips a year since I was 16, so I recognize the view winding down to that bridge coming from Spokane. It’s beautiful and a reminder that I was either halfway there or halfway home.
Enjoy the scenery, your dogs and your respite. Fireworks are just starting to kick in here.
