Washington State Route 20

Jed's parents continued driving up and down the highways looking for any sign of him while the police began pinging his phone hoping to get a last known location.

Jed's phone pinged for a final time at 6.48am near the interchange of Interstate 15 and US Highway 20 along the Snake River.

After that, the signal went dead.

Meanwhile, staff at the American Heritage Charter School began arriving, ready to face another day.

Okay.

The only other highway, so Highway 20 goes through Concrete to the east side.

Yeah, yeah.

Little bit south is Highway 2.

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

That Highway 20 is one of the most beautiful drives I've ever taken.

It is.

His family has stated that they believe Christopher has taken his own life and it is believed that at the time of his disappearance, Christopher was in the possession of a firearm.

Just two days after he disappeared, Christopher's car was discovered along Highway 20 across from Goodell Creek Campground in the North Cascades National Park.

Unfortunately, there was no sign of Christopher or his dog, Bella, and park rangers continued their search efforts well into the next few days.

While no sign of Christopher has ever been found, the GoFundMe set up on behalf of the Jarman family states that Bella, Christopher's dog, was found 14 days later in a distressed state.

No lead, nothing.

Just all of a sudden he's gone." Jed's parents continued driving up and down the highways looking for any sign of him, while the police began pinging his phone hoping to get a last known location.

Is

still open? No.

No, it's still open

We're talking

weeks.

It starts with Highway 20.

I'm saying, let's go in this episode, fucking go right now.

I'm going to say probably Washington, but that's just a guess.

Then you have Deception Pass Giant on Highway 20, just south of the Deception Pass Bridge at the northern tip of Whidbey Island.

A 12-foot chainsaw-carved Bigfoot beckons travelers to Squatchy's Gift Shop.

I'd like to go to there, actually.

There are several ways to reach it, but none of them are simple.

You can hike 42 miles round trip from Highway 20.

You can paddle Ross Lake from the south, which does involve a truck portage over Ross Dam.

You can arrange a boat ride from the Ross Lake Resort, which is considerably more civilized, but then you still have to hike.

From the north, US 101 runs west from Port Angeles along the Strait of Juan de Fuca, passing Lake Crescent before continuing towards Forks.

Another option from the Seattle area is to take a Washington State Ferry to Kingston or Bainbridge Island and connect with US 101, while the Port Townsend Ferry Route connects to US 101 via State Route 20.

The important thing for all of you to know is that Olympic is not a drive-thru park.

US 101 circles the peninsula, while the roads in the park branch off from it and generally do not connect across the interior.

so stick to the main highway when moving your rig and explore the park's interior after you've set up camp.

If you plan to come from the south and the greater Puget Sound area, taking a Washington State ferry can turn the journey to Olympic National Park into part of the adventure.

The Edmonds-Kingston or Seattle-Bainbridge Island routes puts you on the peninsula with a connection to US 101, while the Port Townsend-Coopville ferry provides another route onto the Northern Olympic Peninsula, connecting with Highway 101 via State Route 20.

The National Park Service specifically lists Kingston, Bainbridge Island, and Port Townsend as ferry getaways to the Olympic National Park.

It never felt just exhausting.

And you can also avoid the parking chaos on Highway 20 by going that way.

It's still busy, but if you park along that Forest Service Road or in the parking lot You don't have to park in the middle of the highway, which we've talked about this many times, but please don't do that.

Even though hundreds of other people are doing it, please don't.
