Hope you still get exciting moments like this from time to time.<br /><br />Drew, I wanted to see the total solar eclipse, but I didn't think it would be worth all of the traffic hassles to go to Oregon. I should have done a part two to this post where I explained how Mrs. LTL made more than $200 profit selling eclipse glasses in one day. This area was bonkers for a while there. It's a very long trip from Glasgow to Seattle, I can tell you, but you will always have a place to stay if you ever think you could do it. We'll go to Twin Pines for some great diner fare.<br /><br />Swede, I have lived here for seven years, and I still can't get over the beauty this part of the country holds. Sure beats the flat cornfields of Illinois where I grew up. As for the photos, the ones from the rafting trip were great. We have rafted that stretch of river before, but the water was much higher than usual and a bit treacherous. Have to admit I was nervous. Hated not getting a good eclipse shot though. You were supposed to put the lens behind your solar glasses, but it didn't work for me at all.<br /><br />Robster, We raft and hike in that part of the state from time to time. There will be future stops for vinyl in Thorp, but was it just a strange fluke? I have to think that's the case, but I didn't get through the entire rack in the roughly five minutes I scoured. The turnover must be slow. Perhaps there will still be some gems next time. At any rate, an experience I won't soon forget. Must be a cool farmer in those parts.<br /><br />C, There have been some pretty interesting trips since we moved to this part of the country. Perhaps you two are on to something. Thanks for the kind words. I enjoyed your recent finds that you shared with us too.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-48459175521427829042017-08-24T07:40:04.074-04:002017-08-24T07:40:04.074-04:00As TS says... delightful in every respect!

For starters - Snoqualmie Pass, Yakima River, Cascade Mountains, Manastash Ridge, all sound like mythical places plucked from a great American novel - my imagination is reeling. What a wonderful part of the world you live in. Secondly, the photos - fantastic, just fantastic. Thirdly, the whole story - the eclipse, the diner, the small town store selling speciality foods, wine and...peaches? Then of course there's the denouement, the gold at the end of the rainbow, your fabulous treasure trove of vinyl.<br />A masterful post Brian.The Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13237251779370596904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-87221388592491804522017-08-24T03:50:12.577-04:002017-08-24T03:50:12.577-04:00Sounds like an excellent trip all round.

US roadside diners have always held an attraction for me ever since I was a teenager and saw Diner for the first time. If only I could make myself get n a plane for a journey over two hours!drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3815215641735446886.post-29091564431880479462017-08-24T03:47:47.922-04:002017-08-24T03:47:47.922-04:00* ignores eclipse and heads straight for the recor...* ignores eclipse and heads straight for the records*<br />An unexpected haul is always the best kind Brian<br />I had a similar experience in Stranraer coming away with an impressive wedge of Americana<br />* looks up Thorp on the map *Charity Chichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12049726176497694026noreply@blogger.com
