New Weather Station

Well as you can see from the pictures we got a new Vantage Pro2 weather station and installed it today while it was snowing and really strong winds but we didn't get measurements as we were installing it in a tree. This will be a nice addition to Trinity and will be accurate weather info that we have been unable to get up to this point, we either got Steven's Pass weather, or Wenatchee weather, neither of which was right. We are usually cooler than Wenatchee and seem to have more sun and much more snow. The people that know what they are doing are setting the weather station up so that it will be online with the webcam or that is the plan. Stay tuned for more info, and I hope you find your paradise too.

What a Great Week

This past week was full of visitors to Trinity and I finally got my other brace so that I can walk and not fall down so much. Last Sunday evening I met Bob and our friend Meredith at the garage late in the evening and we were going to come in together but on the way in at Chikamin Creek Bob's rig blew a belt, and we didn't have another one that would fit, so I took Bob back out to his van and he spent the night in town and was going to try to get a belt and he was going to try to find a ride to his rig. Meredith and I came on out to Trinity. The next afternoon I went out to get Bob because he was planning to walk in to his rig but that is about 7 miles so I wento out to get him and help put the belt on, only it doesn't go on like other machines we finally got it on but it was still making noise and since we didn't know what it was I towed him back to the mechanics house and dropped it off and headed in to Trinity. Tues Meredith and I went to Marysville to get her car and I went to get my new brace. It was a great vistit even though it was short, she's one of the first 2 people I met in Seattle and has since become more like family and even though we haven't seen each other in a while we met a few weeks ago at a Dezarie show in Seattle. I got home Wednesday and then Thur went in to therapy and waited until Friday morning to come home because I met Mark and his daughter Suzanne at the sno park and we all rode in to Trinity for a weekend, they just wanted to get away from the city and I enjoyed the company, took them out on Sun afternoon and brought the rest of the weather station equipment in from the truck, now it is just a matter of setting it up this coming weekend when Bruce and Reid get here. Then we will have the most accurate weather for this location instead of getting forcast for Wenatchee or the other side of the mountains, neither of which are very accurate for this location. Life is good in Paradise hope you find yours. Namaste'

This is Chikamin creek right below the bridge, it even knows love is important always 

Meredith and Bob before we left for the city on Tues. Had a great time  

Sugar the Boxer who is also part of the Trinity pack, she wants to be a wolf, fits right in here even with no fur she loves the snow 

Meredith and Me when she came up last Sunday, one of the first people I met when I moved to Seattle, more like family than friend 

Another view of them 

Real cool icicles at the east end of the cabin very cool shapes but not very long but many of them 

Icicles around the cabin still hanging on but melting fast 

Suzanne & Mark dressed for the trip in on Bob's ATV, on Friday 

Suzanne at the Phelps Creek Campground taking pictures 

Mark & Suzanne are the latest visitors to Trinity, they even got to ride the ATV with tracks 

This is where the boulder was hanging around but with all the rain and wet snow it started peeling away over a month ago and finally let go resting in the road  

Well it finally came down and is now located on the downhill side of the road. Glad no one was there when it came down 

What a Difference a Year Makes!!

Last year at this time I was in Seattle getting ready to head to Vancouver for a week by Amtrak. Today one year ago I went out and almost didn't have enough snow to go out on a snowmobile, today I have over 10' of snow on the ground still but today was rather warm and melted alot, hopefully it will freeze and make the road better for travelling. We left at 7:30 headed north on the train heading to Vancouver and there is no better place to celebrate a 50th birthday. We had a good time visiting many of the local resturants and bars this year I'm going to Seattle to see a Reggae show. When I come home Sunday I'll still have snow, compared to last year when I was able to drive to within 6 miles of Trinity for about 10 days but then the snow returned in late March and we got almost as much in 2 days as all of winter, this year that won't be a problem, it will be a while before I'll be driving in very far. Life is good, I continue to learn what is important love, peace, and compassion and realizing that what is, is, neither good or bad, and that everything happens for a reason. Paradise is wonderful, may you find yours.
