This has been a very nice summer and even though it has been extremely dry & dusty it has been very comfortable with our high of 94 back in July. Since then though it has been rather mild, and the evenings have been very nice and cool but Friday night it got down to 36 and last night down to 26 with heavy frost on my Blazer and Ranger and the ground there was even a new dusting of snow on Chiwawa and Massie Mountains only lasted a short while though it is good to see. Today the wind is blowing and this week the hunters will be moving in the area. Tues we are going to try to do the Sno-Tel maint which means the flight in the helicopter as long as the weather cooperates, I'm looking forward to it but also know at this time of year it can be a bit iffy. I'll let you know how things pan out.
We went to Leavenworth for Salmon Festival it was fun learned some things about the fish & fry we have been saving out of the waterholes that are drying up. Also got to see lots of friends and listen to good music by the locals Chumstick Liberation Front at the close of the first days activities. Went and checked out the Native American Encampment and not only enjoyed the dancing and drumming but the samples of smoked salmon very tasty. Also watched a man making westerncedar bark baskets for gathering berries, using those baskets keep the berries fresher longer. I found there were many uses for western cedar bark for the Native Americans, very educational, lots of cool decorations with a deep history. I felt wonderful being there I'll have pictures up soon.
We found our Paradise, hope you find yours too.
