Google Maps says it takes only an hour to drive from Long Beach to Raymond, Washington. The time stamps on my camera show an hour-and-nine-minutes elapsed between my last Long Beach photo and the first Raymond photo. But, I must say, my bladder was registering a much longer trip. Seeing this port-a-potty sitting in a roadside "park" just before I got to Raymond was one of the most beautiful sights on the entire trip.
Raymond seemed a bit odd to me. Route 101 was clumsily widened at some time. I say clumsily because the highway is now wide enough to cut off the residential and commercial districts from one another, but not wide enough to have enough property for businesses along the highway. However, as I was to learn a few days later it was at a house party in Raymond that Nirvana played their first show.
