It's also given me lots of places I want to visit like Ape Cave and Crescent Lake and has also inspired me to learn more about Washington state. The book isn't perfect, some of the stories a little short and as can be a problem with non-fiction like this some are a little out of date with new information surfacing since the book was written. But these are only minor issues that don't really detract from the overall book.
A great collection, I can't wait to visit these places and learn more about my new home.
