Happy Late Sunday Post!
Cecily, I love your tranquility. Liz, I'm sorry to hear about the estate holdup but DianeS, your thoughts about the reason for the holdup was fascinating.
Today's hike was Colchuck Lake, a repeat for you all. It has to be in my top 3 hikes for sheer beauty. My neighbor had never been, and it was fun tto see her response.
Peps, should you ever be in WA state for a hike, you could do worse than the Leavenworth area. Leavenworth itself has made itself into a Bavarian-style tourist area. Yes, touristy, but good fun touristy, and Mother Nature has draped that entire area with immense beauty.
Just a couple of pics below.... One is the lake with guy in kayak. Let's pause for a moment to consider that this is an inflatable kayak that was carried up over 2600 feet over 4 miles of rocky-roots. Then, the guy had to manually pump air into it. We saw him working on it and then about 30 minutes later he graced our lunchtime lake view.
The other pic is a view from the outside privy. (No, I am not actually using the privy at the time so don't even go there.)
This lake, and the area above it, are particularly loved, and has things like privies (that have to be emptied, regularly, some of them thru helicopter access) to keep the whole thing from being overrun by human waste. So, privy itself....gross. But, better than the whole area being ruined. And, not a bad view.
Have a good night! Shel
