Just had our house painted, paid the contractor and my lovely wife said why don't we do an overnight trip somewhere, maybe Levenworth?

Oh hell yes!

With the nice long late spring/early summer days all the rivers in the Cascades are living up to their namesake.

First stop, Harry of Harry and the Henderson's fame

Howdy!

Looks like a horrible place and a horrible way to spend a day. You must hate it!

My first visit/trip to Washington state was a trip to Seattle in May of 2000. The work that we were there to do had certain dependencies (racks had to be installed, power run, etc...) before we could do our work. It wasn't unusual for us to arrive to find nothing ready and the folks onsite unaware of our arrival and needs. That gave us a bunch of time to site-see. One day, we started out first thing in the morning heading for Mt Ranier, and then from there drove to Mt St Helens and then back (11 hours of driving). Between that day and some of the other driving that we did, I fell in love with the beauty of the area. It was almost 20 years until I managed to get the missus there for a vacation. She loved it too. Due to costs and politics, we're pretty unlikely to move there. But it's a beautiful area, and I wouldn't be surprised if we don't end up vacationing there again.

To Seahawk; nope, that's Dirtyface Peak, 6240' it's the prominent peak looking Northwest from the south state park area.

We stopped on the way back at Deception falls, there's a half mile loop well worth wandering.









Spray from the upper falls will soak you in this area within a minute. She's going hurry up!

That makes sense now that I looked at a map.

Great stuff as always, Skip and Mrs. Skip. I just love that part of the country and your pictures.

From the PNW to an atoll in the middle of the Pacific Ocean: October, 1987, Taongi Atoll. Bad day for the skipper! If you zoom in you can see the ladder over the bow.

Cool pic, Seahawk! You were in your chopper when you took that pic? Post more, please!

Skip - LOVE your photos and appreciate the caption work, which I know takes a few extra minutes but always helps the viewer understand context. You have a lovely lady there too, sir.

Your counterparts here at the beach. I wonder if they knew they were being photographed?

I was. Wreck was a few years old when I took the pic.

Different cruise, taken in the Philippine Sea. Reef houses, not a resort. It is a little blurry because I didn't want to get close and used a telephoto lens.

Gave the tub a bath this evening. She looks good with her Swedish girlfriend!

I made it. Actually a bunch of them and my neighbor sold them at a craft fair. Some painted red whit and blue. I had a big box of horseshoes from the trash. I think i got the idea from pintrest. I just realised its supposed to be with 5 shoes so its a star in the center. I messed up
