Washington State is the greenest place I have ever seen. Doesn't matter if you're on freeways or bridges you can always see forests everywhere

I came to Tacoma to spend the Summer with my Grandparents after I graduated high school. I was completely blown away by the beauty of this place and didn't want to leave when the Summer ended. Plus, the people here are very nice and more genuine.

I used to live on the corner of 6th and Jackson in Tacoma. I was able to see the bridges from my apartment. Another tenant in or building was the supervisor for the painting crew and got me and my wife exclusive access to the older bridge. We got to go on something called the traveler that went under the bridge for maintenance. We stopped at the tower on the Tacoma side and was able to go to the very top of that tower via an elevator. Breathtaking views. Was able to see Seattle from the top.

I love how the first song includes the word TACOMA. ;)

I love that there are signs for Mt Rainier - on a clear day, you don't need them, it is VERY apparent where it is!

In NYC the Bronx Whitestone Bridge is very similar to the original Tacoma Narrows bridge and has the same design flaw that causes it to ossolate strongly during high winds. To prevent this they added trusses after the Tacoma Narrows fell and later replaced them with wing farrings in 2003.

Years ago (when they & I were both relatively young), I saw the Steve Miller Band at Six Flags over Georgia for six bucks. This past summer, the now old geezers came here to Tallahassee and charged $70 a ticket!

After you left Seattle, driving near Tacoma is something. Also, WA-16 was a great drive for showing the Tacoma Narrows Bridge. Both bridges are cool as one is historic as a westbound route and the other is modern as an eastbound route.

Very nice indeed! I like what you did with the Steve Miller song in the beginning, very clever! Great ride with another great soundtrack, and that bridge: wow!!

Two other examples of extremely short interstate routes are in the Tampa Bay Area(St. Petersburg, FLA); the 375 and 175.

Jim, you wanted to wander that day. Don't apologize. It happens to us all.
