After five horrendous weather days in Whistler, we awoke to an absolutely perfect day. No clouds to be seen, and only beautiful rays of sunshine. Unfortunately, despite the beautiful weather, we were scheduled to start our trek back home to Colorado. Packing up the Subaru, Ryann, Kerri and I jumped in, and started our lengthy drive home.  Since we had stayed longer in Whistler in hopes of some better weather, we decided to forgo our original plans of stopping in Yellowstone, and head right home. Keri started the first leg of the trip in a rather crowded back seat. She claimed that she was comfortable, doubt it… After dropping Ryann off at the Vancouver airport, we made our way towards the border, where we sat in a line of slowly moving cars for close to an hour and a half. If you’re looking for a scooter, give these guys a call… We made a short pit stop in Seattle to grab some delicious grub at the Seattle Center. Mostly we just wanted to check out the Space Needle one last time… After a quick lunch at the Grecian Corner, we jumped back in the car and kept rolling towards Colorado. The drive thru Eastern Washington was tedious at times. We took several unplanned detours and saw a whole lot of flat landscape. Construction seems to be a prominent theme throughout the entire Northwest during this time of year. We arrived in the Park City region just as the sun was coming up. Originally planning on sleeping a few hours there, we simply kept driving towards Colorado. After 31 hours straight in the Subaru, I had dropped Keri off in Breckenridge and finally made it home to Boulder. The first installment of Just Passing Thru ended after 4,000 miles of driving through five different states and one Canadian province. It was a great trip and we captured some excellent footage. I picked up a brand new Mac Pro from the Apple store today and am working on getting our 32 hours of footage compiled and organized. Stay tuned to justpassingthru.tv for B-Roll edits and info on when the final series will drop. We’re shooting to get ‘er done by the end of the month… Thanks for following our adventures at justpassingthru.tv, keep dropping by the site to stay up to date with what’s going on with Just Passing Thru…

Our visit with the Burns family proved to be one of the most relaxing and enjoyable segments of our trip. During our stay, we took part in the Freemont Summer Solstice, enjoyed food at Ivar’s Fish Bar, strolled through the Pike Place Market, flew around Seattle on a B-24 Bomber, and took the ferry a total of four times.

On our final morning at Bainbridge, we woke up to a beautiful sunny day and a majestic view of Mt. Rainier looming in the distance. 

These shots were taken right from Wheels’ back yard.

Prior to our departure, we decided to take some short rides on Blue, the Burn’s pony.

After some pony rides, we jumped on the ferry and made our way over to Seattle en route for British Columbia and the Whistler area. 

Nothing like a nice view of the Seattle skyline.

Today could have quite possibly been the best day, ever…

After a peaceful night’s stay at the Burn’s family house, we woke up and made our way to Seattle via the ferry.

After a short ride, we were greeted by Wheel’s father, Mike. Jumping in the car, we made our way to a nearby airstrip where a B-24 Bomber awaited our arrival. 

This beauty of a plane goes by the name of Witchcraft, and is the only current operating B-24 in the world. Wheel’s Uncle Pat and his lovely girlfriend Sherri were also on hand to take part in this exciting Monday adventure. 

Mike and Uncle Pat’s father flew a total of 44 flights during WWII in one of these very planes. 44 flights into combat!

After today, Wheels and Keri have done a total of one flight in a B-24.

Witchcraft also came fully rigged with some serious WWII weaponry. Unfortunately there wasn’t any ammo.

After a quick tutorial, the crew was ready to take off.

Uncle Pat and Sherri cozied up in some comfortable floor seating prior to liftoff.

Once we were in the air, we were free to move about the plane. Witchcraft was our new playground, ready to be explored.

To get from one end of the plane to the other, we had to squeeze down this narrow catwalk. Notice the bombs on either side. Don’t worry, we didn’t drop them…

Keri crawls down to a lower turret to take an aerial look of Seattle. 

Wheels was rather excited to see her home, Bainbridge Island. Who wouldn’t be?

After our eventful morning flight, we roamed the streets of Seattle, taking a short lunch break to eat some delicious Ivar’s for the second time in two days. I got a double walking.If that doesn’t make any sense to you, make sure to check out Ivar’s the next time you’re in Seattle. 

After our day-trip to Seattle, we returned to the lovely Burn’s residence for a true PNW dinner of grilled salmon. This is a little self portrait I took of myself while swinging on one of the best rope swings ever created.

Wheel’s mother Darden was nice enough to play the piano for us following dinner. Be sure to check for her music in our upcoming video release.

Following the piano recital we spent some time relaxing around the house.

In addition to the best rope swing ever created, the Burn’s also have the best swing-set ever created.

After an adventurous swinging experience, we made our way to town to grab some ice cream and check out the sunset. What a perfect way to end the best day, ever…

Tomorrow we plan to wake up early and ride some ponies, play with chickens, and then head for Whistler. Be sure to check back in the near future for further updates.

Sunday, June 21, Keri and I dropped Blake off at the Portland airport. He’s off to work a week at the LA Film Festival, chasing celebrities around the red carpet and beyond. With only the two of us in the car, we certainly felt significantly roomier. However, Blake certainly will be missed.

At roughly 10:00 AM, Keri and I began our adventure up to Whistler, BC. Rather than doing the originally planned coastal route, we did a straight whole shot up to Seattle, WA on route 5 to visit with my good friend Amelia “Wheels” Burns and some of her family. Arriving in Seattle by 1:30 PM, Keri and I had some time to kill while we waited for Wheels. Having never really been to Seattle, we immediately directed ourselves towards the Space Needle and the surrounding Seattle Center.

Keri stands below a towering tower of fun.

We found parts of the Seattle Center rather interesting as we crossed paths with robots and other strange sites. After some time exploring the area, Wheels made it to Seattle and encouraged us to head down to Freemont to check out their Summer Solstice event that was going on.

Boy, oh boy, was the festival exciting. We roamed the streets for a few hours, taking in the sites to be seen, and exploring the Summer Solstice. Ian at the Cliff Bar stand recognized us and was nice enough to award us with a few packs of delicious bars for the road. Thanks Ian!

Check out this interestingly decorated dog; he was great (Sorry for such a mediocre photo, I was stumbling around in a hurry to snap this image).

After some time in Freemont, Wheels led us to the ferry dock en route to her lovely home on Bainbridge Island. We jumped on our vessel and feasted on some Ivars Fish ‘n Chips. 

The views of Seattle and the surrounding area were exquisite.

Simply stunning…

Here’s our tour guide for the next day, Amelia “Wheels” Burns.

Keri takes a quick photo of Wheels as we cruise towards Bainbridge Island.

Once again, simply stunning…

After a short ferry ride we reached the shores of Bainbridge Island. Wheels and her parents gave us a tour around her house, it’s absolutely magnificent. 

This is the view from the back of their house. Not bad at all…

Wheel’s mother Darden, shows off her beautiful garden to us. I’m rather jealous as my measly garden back in Colorado looks nothing like this.

After a nice little tour around the Burn’s family abode, we cozied up and had our first good-nights sleep in quite some time. This morning we head off to fly around in a B-24 Bomber from WWII. Yep, you read that right…
