Tanks are filling up, it is going to rain and this place gets busy over the weekend. It is time to head back to the big house.

Another sunny day with a few planes visiting, the holding tanks say it is time to go back to the big house tomorrow.

Not too many people left here after a busy weekend. This was the annual 50 mile and 50k – 25k run. The 50 mile runs up to Suntop and then up to Coral Pass and back. The fastest time was 8 hours 24 minutes and the longest was 16 hours 13 minutes on the 50 miler.

277 plus runners and the support people ment a large crowd with lots of people here Friday night. I have to say although numerous people wanted to share our camp site the whole airstrip area was sure clean this morning. No garbage or even pieces of paper on the ground. We like to camp by ourselves so it was a bit irritating when people wanted to move in close and I did yell at four boys who came into our campsite and wanted to carry off the picnic table we have our BBQ sitting on. Their excuse was they were camped in the middle of an old no longer used road bed and they didn’t have a picnic table. That was their problem put the table back.

It was hot today 90+, here is the weather forecast at 11:40 am today.

Early this evening it started to cloud up and just before dark a lightning storm moved in. At dark it started raining.

At least things have cooled off, 9:30 and it’s 73 and lightning has seemed to have passed.

Warm and smoky today. 87 in Enumclaw and our thermometer said 92.

Got bug picture today.

We are here for two weeks or so.

The weather report.

Here is the hole in our heater hose which got us stuck on our way home from Montana. I attached the new hose to this end and snaked the new hose through the engine.

Another view.

Pointed towards the big house today

This BLM or Forest Service campground is right on Hwy 90 is a great stop over spot on the trip home.

Should also have good weather today.

It is 7:45 pm and we are now at Quartz Flats in pull through site A10. We are in the trees and I thought I would give the Starlink a try.

Here is the hole in the trees.

I am sitting here watching U-tube videos.

After 35 minutes this is the coverage map I have and it is good enough for video :-).

By the way sunset is 9:40 pm. We are on the western edge of mountain time.
