This is a hike for this OR girl but is there a place (hotel) nearby that isn't really speedy or in use (ahem) by the hour?
Not sure if I want to bounce to 130- but would love to poke around and look for critters.... How far is this from Portland as I live 1 hour south of there....... Thanks!
- I got a good squirt in my mouth
- I would imagine that there would be a large amount of involuntary gagging
- I don't know about you but I'm not into swallowing it

I have had really good luck with the Extended Stay America in Mukilteo. The rooms are recently remodeled and I have never paid over $85 a night using Expedia. It is literally a ten minute drive from the dive site. Although the Silver Cloud is right at the dive site they tend to be $140 a night or more last time I checked. Come on up and join us!

sekhmet, if you're cat-tolerant, you can crash at our place. We're a half hour from the site, but the price is right.
I'm not even sure where I'm going to BE in February, let alone what my work schedule is, but if I'm free, I'll come to the dives. I've had great fun at all the ones I have made it to!

But I gotta ask, how many cats do you have?
Are you one of those cat ladies?

I imagine that the horses are too much of a distraction to be a truly dedicated cat lady.

Thank you Lynne, that is VERY nice of you. I am cat tolerant (hopefully since I have a cat myself). It's about a 4.5 hr drive for me to this dive but hey I'm motivated. If anyone else in Portlandia wants to hop on board on the way up that could be fun. I will keep you posted!
Hey folks. I joined a while ago but haven't posted. My wife and I live primarily in Illinois, but have a place in Seattle where we plan to be full time once our youngest is out of college - two more years. Anyway, we're starting to spend a lot more time out here, and plan to be back quite a bit in February and March. Did a solo at Mukilteo a few days ago and really enjoyed it. So, I'd like to join in on the dive. Anything I need to know or bring, other than be there for the scheduled splash time?
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
As it turns out, I will be working that entire weekend. The crash pad offer is still open, but you will not only have to tolerate the cats (2) but my husband, too . . .
I've learned to put in the cat-tolerant part. It's amazing how many people are deathly allergic to the little guys.

That's me. I can tell if there is a cat within minutes of stepping into a house.

I'd be happy to! Would you prefer approaching from shore or dropping down the line?
This sounds like a fun day of diving and I will talk to the wife to see if I can make it out that early. I have Mr heater and a canopy I can bring if I am clear to join you guys.
