Tanya sent me this article from Seattle Times

Hope no one reads it.

Here’s today’s walk
This weekend’s campsite after the morning frost melted.

Fort Flagler – Sunday March 23, 2013

Sunny day – 45° outside 78° inside.

Hank and I did our normal walk this morning only today we did it clockwise rather than our normal direction.
First flower of the year.
Sunny view from the upper camp area.

Fort Flagler – Sunday March 17, 2013

Hank and I want for a walk today. Used My Track again today, however I hadn’t ended yesterday’s track before we left.

This does not show the couple minutes of hail.

Fort Flagler – Saturday March 16, 2013

Here is view from my chair. We got here at 8:50 p.m last night.

This pic is from last week when it was warm and sunny. The flies agree with my choice of wine.

Hank & I went for walk after Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me. It’s 1:30 raining hard.

These are screen shots from Google My Track. Says it will upload to Google drive for storage, however the only thing I see on Google Drive is a map of the area and not the track we walked.

Here is the campsite picture:
For those who are counting today is 39 years from March 16, 1974. It also rained HARD that day.

Fort Flagler – Friday March 01, 2013

Took Friday off for the opening day of Fort Flagler. It’s a nice day, 50° and no rain.

I took this picture just as it was getting dark.

Kanaskat State Park – Saturday November 17, 2012

We are out for the weekend, wind and little rain.

Site 32.

Last week I stumbled upon a Washington State Parks senior citizen ( 62 ) winter access pass. The pass cost $50.00 and is good from October 1 to March 31, non electrical is $free & electrical is $6.00. Friday night cost $27.00 tonight will be $6.00.

2:00 p.m. the comment rain has changed, increased to real RAIN.

Crystal Mountain – Sunday October 7, 2012

Jean has to work this beautiful weekend so Hank and I are at Crystal Mt.

It does not sound like the best campground around however it really is a nice place when you have the whole place to yourself.
Yesterday Hank hiked up to Hen Skin Lake.

And yes not a cloud in the sky

The first time I was at Hen Skin Lake was in 1959 with Dad and his friend Jim Hogan. That was a long time ago. I think it was 1959 because I don’t remember ever going fishing with Dad when we lived in Enumclaw.

Hen Skin Lake 5552 elevation
here: 46 55.133 N 121 29.024 http://maps.google.com/maps?q=loc:46.91889,-121.48374

This picture is from the mid 60’s. I can tell by pack boards they were made around 63 or 64. I think this was taken on the trail to Hidden Lake, we used to go there a lot for the big trout.

Here are a couple of pictures of where we are camped:

Looking up to the ridge line.

Last night Hank & I went for a walk in the dark. He was exhausted when we got back home however when I said walk he was up and ready to go. We had a good weekend.
