I’m really a big fan of getting out and enjoying the scenery in life. Luckily for me, the Pacific Northwest is full of such opportunities. A particularly scenic drive lies between my place of residence in Yakima, and my place of employment, and although it adds 10-15 minutes onto an already 45 minute commute, I take the road whenever I get a chance. As an added bonus, it nets me about 48 mpg versus the 32-35 I usually attain on the freeway!
