An Interesting Stop Along the Way
The town of Farmer is easy to miss. The one thing that you'll probably notice while passing through are the large doctor ad murals on the side of some barns.

Important Notes!
1. The sign at the corner of J NW is missing. However, there is a
house/shop/etc to the left and back of the ...

... far we have travelled 2700 miles or 4320 km. Annie’s sister will be married on August 1 and so there is great excitement here in anticipation for that event. We will continue this blog after the wedding when we head out for California and the South west.

Cashmere home of the druggies and alcoholics. It's a small town where everyone, and I mean everyone, knew your business. Lived there for 10 years and I still don't miss that place. Maybe family, but I hardly talk to my old friends there. They are busy living their life.

In this town it was here where I watch Tim (the gaint) throw my worthless and unfortunately my father off our porch in order for my mom, brothers, and myself to leave.

Up early again, cleaned up a bit from the night before and took back the borrowed wine glasses to the main lodge. Admired their views. Fixed a light lunch and then went for a 5-mile hike up Icicle Road. The log cabins along the river there were quite amazing, but they all appeared to be either strictly weekend or summer places.

Chris was up bright and early at 5:30, and I followed suit a half hour later. Breakfast was brought over at 9:30--yogurt, smoothies, fruit, scrambled eggs and pico. The funny thing was that they didn't serve any bread--very strange. We didn't eat much, but later I fixed tuna salad and we went for a drive along the beautiful Icicle Road (recommended by Dan), then stopped at the local deli where we ...

... eye salmon, scallops, asparagus and salad stuff. Back at Ravenwood while Chris was grilling our feast, a 9-point buck appeared on top of a little hill right in front of him, no more than three yards away! He called out to me (something I'm not sure I'd ever heard him do), and I hurriedly dropped my salad-making, grabbed my camera and took a picture of the two of them, Chris standing at the grill while the buck ...

... headed for Outer Space. This is the point of the story where mothers everywhere should cringe, grab their broach, and exclaim, "Heavens no!" However, Dominic, it turns out, is a terrific guy from the east coast on a similar road trip out west, bent on climbing rocks and adventuring. An engineer from Baltimore, he bought the car for $250 and converted it to run on veggie oil. The paint job, though, was custom, and there is no excuse for that. He ...

... old" niece waiting for us and wanting to know where I found money for lunch because she was hungry. That's when I realized that we had forgotten her in our room. A nightmare! I'm trying to get in more skiing to take my mind off the fact that I can't leave yet. It won't come soon enough as far as I'm concerned. I've included a number of pictures of some of my ski trips this year.
