Driving
Posted by Nathaniel.
I’m getting lots of seat time in my car driving back and forth between Seattle and Walla Walla. The low point was driving over the pass in the dark on Sunday. Weather backs up when it hits the mountains, so I drove through a thunder storm, in amazingly heavy rain. The road is extremely rutted too from the truck traffic and the ruts were full of water, so driving with a normal lane position resulted in instant hydroplaning. 50 miles of white knuckle driving.
The high point comes after you get over the pass and into the desert of eastern Washington. No other cars on the road so you can light up the high beams and speed up, the light cutting back and forth through turns revealing the farmland nearby. It’s really very peaceful.
