Artist's Point


So, here's where we went last night. This is a view of Shukshan. Unbelievable. We used to pay 100's of dollars, have to pack for days, and take time off to see this kind of beauty on vacation. All we took was a few bottles of water! The boys got to play in some of the snow that hasn't melted. They can only open this particular two miles a couple of month's a year because it is usually COVERED with snow. It is a great place to go snowshoeing apparently. Mount Baker (the small picture below) is continually covered with snow and after Mount Ranier has the second most glaciers of any of the Cascades. It set the record for most snowfall ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD in 1998. Lots of good skiing up here! Feel free to use our house for your very own bed and breakfast, as Mt. Baker is a little less than one hour to get to!!!! This is the view we get from our house, but we were VERY close to it last night!
