Happy Monday! We are just getting back from a weeklong outing to the Northern Cascades National Park in Washington and some of the surrounding area. It was a good week. We dodged the wildfires and the smoke from the fires the entire week.
Here are a few of the highlights:
- We took a boat trip to Stehekin. You can only get to it by boat or plane. The wildfire was close but the wind was in our favor and we had a lovely day. Two days after our trip Stehekin went to a Level 2 evacuation...which means no visitors allowed. Yesterday they were moved to a Level 3 which means get out. I've been praying they don't burn. It's a beautiful place.
- We visited the Grand Coulee Dam. They weren't giving tours because of the smoke...we thought it was fine. Such a beautiful day! Safety first, I guess. Jerry enjoyed seeing some of the wheat fields along the way. The drive just put me to sleep! LOL!
- The highway through the Northern Cascades National Park had been closed the entire week due to a wildfire. It reopened the evening before we went! Diablo Lake was beautiful! The mountains are beautiful. The pictures don't do them justice. We were happy just to see them. We weren't sure what the smoke would be like but as you can see from the photos it was a beautiful day.
Happy Stamping!
