Thanks. Getting ready for a nightime ride now.

I really, really need it.

Hey all! How about a trip report from our recent adventure? It's not very horsey, but thought it'd be interesting to see different parts of the state.

First day: Left Friday morning early... headed into the mountains....

Looking down on our truck during a potty break for the dogs on the way up the pass...

Woops.... guess the dogs weren't the only ones needin' a break. ;~D

Further up Snoqualmie Pass, where it is still winter...

Looked like enough snow still at the ski areas... but the lifts weren't running. Maybe they're down to a short schedule just on weekends.

On the East side of the Cascades now... Heading up Blewitt Pass toward Wenatchee.

Elk!

View of the Wenatchee River and the area surrounding Wenatchee...

Wenatchee is a little bit high desert, a little bit high pine forest, and a LOT apple orchards.

Miles and miles of apple orchards on all the ground that is flat enough to work. It ~smells~ like apples when you drive in, even though the trees are all still dormant. Blossoms in about a month.
