Got the satellite TV dish set up this morning. Last week I had changed our physical location to Crystal Mountain which is only a few miles away and in the same zip code as we are now. Matter of fact when Google maps originally setting up zip codes 98022 (Enumclaw) was attached to the physical location of Crystal Mountain Ski Resort. A lot of databases are still this way. Most medical search databases when you search for doctors within 5 miles of 98022 the results are NONE. When you change the search to 30 miles all the doctors in Enumclaw show up including the hospital. Once a mistake is made it is very difficult to get it changed. Anyway we have local Seattle-Tacoma TV stations coming down from the satellite.
Hank and I got out for a hike this afternoon. Walked the trail along the river ( White River ) for 4 miles and then came back. We were in heavy forest the whole time so it was really nice and shady with a dirt trail the whole way. We saw two other groups out hiking in the nice weather. I took my InReach GPS however being down inside a large stand of trees it only was able to transmit our location once during the three hours we were on the trail. When we got back to camp I set the GPS out in the open so it could transmit it’s data, it will be interesting to see where it thinks we were. I also set a waypoint ( #10 ) for a point of reference. This waypoint is after we had turned left away from the river for 0.6 miles and also our turn around point.
Another beautiful with a high of 85.
Hank was tired when we got home.
We are the only people here tonight, nice and quiet.
Army helicopter came into the landing strip this evening. He came from the north, landed south to north, set for several minutes, took off north, came around and left going to the south.
