R&R Olympics Hike


My wife thought that I needed a new post here. So she posted these pictures for me, practically forcing me to write something new. It will have to be all about the pictures, because i hardly even do anything at work and have spent 99% of the last 3 weeks in a 1 square mile area, and the 1% hasn't been much further. It's quite boring and I'd like to do something else soon. Like this...

The first weekend in February I was still on leave and realized the Super Bowl was coming up soon. So I called Daniel and we both agreed that spending an afternoon and evening hiking through the rain, sleet and snow in the woods near a lake would be a wonderful way to spend Super Bowl Sunday. After some discussion, we decided to drive in the direction of the Olympics and see what happened.

I decided we should visit the Lake Cushman area, because I'd never been there before. The weather was great for hiking. It snowed some, rained a bit and did nothing for a while. We saw some very pretty cloud formations at dusk. The lake was very peaceful and very gray. If I'd had more time, it would have been a great weekend to go camping.

Thanks for the new post. That's a beautiful waterfall. The patch of snow looks so square. Love, Mom

I intentionally miss the superbowl. It's a great opportunity to go out and do something somewhere that would otherwise be crowded. football's stupid anyway.

I am always so sorry for only visiting this site every so often. Pleeeeze forgive.
As usual, the pix of your trips are wonderful to view, but I start freezing just looking at the snow and ice.
I am a tropical/desert being and I think you know that has spilled over into your cute wife? Love, Mother
