Cape Disappointment and North Head are the two that bring back fond memories of my trip to the west coast last summer. All the time I was planning the trip I was emailing Joann who lives in Astoria, WA and was one of the regular Wacko's last summer.

Sometime before the trip she invited me to meet her at North Head. Both of our families warned us that meeting someone we had only met on the internet was risky. We had a great time meeting, climbing North Head, traveling to and touring the museum at Cape Disappointment and sitting in a park to eat lunch while we looked up at the lighthouse. It was blustery day and we had big laughs as our lunch, which Joann had prepared, blew all over the place.

Joann is just one example of the great people you meet as a result of collecting HLs. I reflect on that trip and her hospitality often. Glad I have it in my memory bank.
