#Bicycling Washington State – 3 Favorite Trails – a Mountain, An Ocean, and a River
I’ll start with the one closest to home, the Foothills Trail next to the Carbon River, through pastures and small towns, with views of Mt. Rainier. The 21-mile paved trail is built on top of an old railroad bed. We loved it. The 8.2-mile… Continue Reading “#Bicycling Washington State – 3 Favorite Trails – a Mountain, An Ocean, and a River”
Close up on Ospreys!

A Trip Through Grand Coulee Country
You’ve no doubt heard of the Dam – the largest hydropower producer in the United States and one of the largest concrete structures in the world. But there’s more to Grand Coulee than the Dam. “Appropriate as the word grand is for the dam,… Continue Reading “A Trip Through Grand Coulee Country”
Dancing Sky!
We woke this morning to cirrus clouds filling the sky! We’re in Wenatchee on our first camping trip of the year where the scenery is grand and the clouds only tease. More pictures to come. 😊 -Susanne
