A Question of Scenery

[forsyth]

Has anybody driven from Seattle to Las Vegas (or at least Seattle to like Idaho or something) over the mountains and could provide me with pics or descriptions or any little interesting tales? I was just writing the bit in Nano when I realized the only part of the Rockies I've seen up close was down in California by Yellowstone.

I've been over the mountains. They want you to die. That's the biggest impression I get as we drive through them. They tower up and lean over you in your tiny car and you know they're just waiting to fall down on top of you. And they're gray and green and black and white. They don't move at all, but they never sit still, and they huddle on the horizon just watching you. Just watching everything and waiting until they've got you all alone, seperated on a hiking trip, or pulled over to the side of the rode because you blew out a tire, and then they disapear you.

Thank you. Now if I can just see if Google maps is at all good at showing the actual locations of mountains, so I can figure out where to put in a description of them. Basically if I need it before or after they cross over into Oregon.
