... maybe half a
mile away. I'm pretty sure it's the only home on this half of the
drive.
2. It's important to remember the first half of the drive is on gravel
roads with no warning signs. Take into consideration it was hunting
season when this trip was taken and there were more people around than
is normal. You don't want to get stranded out there, trust me.

We drove through the mountains to our daughter-in-law's parents’ home in Tacoma Washington where we will stay for the next week or so. The sun was shining in Cle Elum, but as we crossed the mountains we drove into the clouds and they stayed with us ...

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.

... picked me up, to avoid walking the same terrain back, and we bought more seafood in town to grill for dinner. We were hopeful the bear might make another appearance, but it was not to be. However, we did get a visit from a doe. Made to back to bed by 11:00 for another long day--so many hours of daylight!

... a turkey, Brie & cranberry sandwich on brioche--yum! Picked up a few more items at Safeway and some summer sausage at a meat shop in the quaint downtown area.

Back at Ravenwood, I prepped a cheese tray, celery/carrot tray garnished with blueberries and a remoulade dip, made up some crackers with shaved turkey and served with my cherry-onion chutney which I had cooked up earlier ...

Feeling magnanimous after such a sumptuous feast, we thought it might be fun to ask the staff if the other guests in the main lodge might like to come over the next evening for wine and hors d'oeuvres and a chance to see Ravenwood. Although the other six couples in the main lodge met ...

... turned out to be a great climbing partner with similar goals to myself, as well as a high tolerance for idiocy. ***** Outer Space, he later remarked, is the sort of alpine climb most people get up early for. We weren't driving towards it before 1:00, and even though we hiked the 2,000ft vertical gain approach with sherpa-esque speed, we weren't standing at the base until 4:00 pm. Standing at the base, I might add, without headlamps. "What's the ...

Morning like afternoon, in Leavenworth, Washington. Too many people. The line at Waffles R Us was an hour at least. I persuaded my little girl to settle for McDonald's, in and out, we'll be eating, I promise. Geez whiz the cops were there, the line was so long! Have you ever had to ...
