Leavenworth Winter Fun, Feb - March 2020

This post compiles other misc. fun times with family and friends while enjoying our Leavenworth cabin this winter. It's poignant because these were the last outings there before the Covid-19 "Stay Home, Stay Healthy" directives went into effect. We are anxious for the day when we can again gather in person, there or anywhere.
 Kathy, Michael, Kay and I enjoyed a Valentines Day at Blewett Pass on the Swuak Discovery trail.




Break time. Diamond Head in the background.

 Luna cools off.


Later that weekend we hosted the Bellingham crew and their friends the Palmers.
We enjoyed a walk along the White River in light snow flurries.
  

 March 14th I took a solo walk along Ingalls Creek. Social Distancing guidelines were already in place.

White Salmon Ridge - March 11, 2020

Clouds obscured the long views to Shuksan and other nearby peaks but no one seemed to mind. The snow was deep, the trees laden, and the camaraderie  of friends made this a magical day.

 The obligatory group photo on the knoll

 I was in my happy place as I started up the connector trail.

 Kay's all smiles

 I'm still in my happy place on our way back to the cars.
