In amongst the pictures of the bird being flipped and flags being waved, the trip highlights include jello shots, one of the stickers that apparently cause the Seattle FO to reroute the entire TA, Roger Leveque with his stupid yellow scarf followed by an appropriate (if not in the swearing sense) two stick for the occasion, and a whole bunch of strange perspective shots from the 300 level of the CLink.

Photo Travelog: Seattle By Bus Edition
For this year's away trip to Seattle I rode the bus with the Timbers Army and snapped a whole mess of photographs, most of which were out of focus. Here are a good chunk of the shots that were in focus, and a few that were not.
