@MW Mike, I will check those links out thank you.
@NO FAN, Yes it is a military move and our last one. I am retiring, and we are headed to WA to settle down. We will be leaving 13 January and would like to be in Seattle by 22 Jan NLT than 23 Jan. We do plan on stopping to do a bit of quick sightseeing. We are outdoor lovers, and love to hike, but with the weather and having our dog that hates the cold we will most likely only be doing a few quick stop bys. We prefer to stay close to our route. Again thanks for all the great info I am glad I found this resource, and people willing to share experience and knowledge.
