Packing…

Maybe paring down to one car wasn’t the right decision… shot of cloud cover Mt. Rainier while driving…

And my lunch stop at Lake Tipso which is still under snow.

Leftovers: wine, slaw, pork.

Off to American Ridge (here is the link to the description of the place. But here is the brief one:

In the 1930s, the Yakima Valley Ski Club worked with the U.S. Forest Service to construct the American River Ski Bowl, one of the first downhill ski areas in Washington State.

Please note my morning shower water warming on the hood (and the propane powered 10-cup coffee maker).

Lots of fun with the boys tonight, but I’m sure my clothes will smell of campfire smoke.
