Jeff crawls through the inside of said tree. - 101 0170
Bryan and Jeff, framed by a fallen tree whose insides had rotted out. - 101 0169
I do my level best to hug a tree. - 101 0168
More reasonably sized trees. - 101 0167
Bryan decides to walk quietly. Like Indian brave. - 101 0166
There were a surprising number of stands where 6 or 7 giant trees grew right next to each other. Here, Bryan and Jeff stand between several. - 101 0165
More: looking up a trees. Whee! - 101 0163
Many of the biggest trees (like this one) had been gutted by fire at some point in their history. So while they were still healthy and thriving (takes more than a fire to kill a 2,000-year-old tree), you could could crawl inside them and stand it the middle of the trunk. - 101 0162
I tried putting my nalgene in front for scale, but it didn't look quite right. So trust me, this was a big tree. - 101 0160
You know what never gets old (for me)? Taking pictures looking up at trees. Expect a lot here. - IMG 3084
Here's Sieg Hall (har, har, i know), the old and venerable if butt-ugly CS building. - IMG 3083
Here's the Allen Center, the brand-new CS building that all of the department is moving into in a month. - IMG 3082
Another shot of the fountain with the Bagley building (chemistry, i think) on the right. - IMG 3081
South of the central plaza is the beautiful Drumheller fountain. - IMG 3079
Another shot of the main quad, from the inside. - IMG 3078
Another pretty gothic building that I don't know the name of. This one makes up the south side of the main quad. The trees and architecture are gorgeous. I almost feel like I'm cheating on UT for loving it so much, but the spaces are just so much more open (you're not always crammed between two five story buildings). - IMG 3077
A view into the main quad from the west. - IMG 3076
Another of the big plaza. The neat-o gothic building on the left is one of the many gigantic libraries here on campus. - IMG 3075
Here are some random shots I took while wandering around campus. This is on the main pavilion; the foreground is occupied by a statue of UW's namesake. - IMG 3074
The Commodore-Duchess apartment building. It's literally right across the street from UW proper. UT folks, imagine living at 26th and Wichita. The location is killer, all the bills are paid, but it is a little bit small. I'm sure I'll get used to it. - IMG 3073
Just as I got into the Seattle area, it started to rain on me... It was as though Seattle had prepared a special welcome just for me. - IMG 3071
I know what you're thinking. Driving at 75mph and taking pictures of your odometer are mutually exclusive activities. But it was a *really* long drive, and maybe after 8 hours I was getting overconfident. - IMG 3067
A view of Mt. Shasta from I-5 - IMG 3064
At about 5:45, I'm on the road about to cross the Dunbar bridge over the bay.
