Yet again, Stehekin has left me speechless. I don't know what to say about such a wonderful place, or such a great job. So I'll let the pictures do most of the talking...
 |
| Seriously - this was part of training for work. We get paid for this? |
 |
| Throwing coworkers in the lake was also part of training. Fun! |
 |
| Geeking out was part of the job. Note, this was not training, but real work. |
 |
| She asked for it, but I have to admit to not having taken a sniff... |
 |
| Nice of the craft store people to keep the salad bar open outside of their regular hours. |
 |
| Evidence of nighttime visitors to the Visitor Center - we never did catch any of them, so we were never sure what it was. Poop mystery! |
 |
| Due to the sheer magnetic pull of our personalities (and the genius of our location choices), we got lots of visitors. Love spreading the gospel of the North Cascades! |
 |
We had a very important set of guests - both mothers - on a very important occasion, MomSig's birthday.
Our roommate and niece Alex made the birthday pie from berries that she and Jeff picked. |
 |
| The lovely Alex, our summer's cook and entertainment. |
 |
| Sad day - the day she left. Awwwww.... |
 |
| Once Alex left, Jeff had to cook for himself - so he made a gigantic pile of pancakes. |
 |
| Our front yard. Really. |
 |
| A little get together at the neighbor's - regular Stehekin evening. |
 |
| Labor Day in Stehekin. Lovely! |
 |
| We did non-home stuff too - Jeff learned some fishing, and we went hiking some. Still gorgeous up there! |
 |
| We went high up, too - less fishing, greater views. |
 |
| Stehekin highs! |
 |
| There are some lovely campgrounds up there, although you often have to work for them. |
 |
| Summer's excitement - a fire a few miles downlake. |
 |
| The real excitement of the summer, though, was the mudslide. The yard in the Labor Day picture? It's under there somewhere... |
 |
| I decided to get crafty with some fabric I've been carrying around for years. I even got it in the community art show. I wouldn't call it art, but hey, whatever! |
 |
| My one time "out" all summer - for a reunion of my mom's side family. We got a picture of my mom and her whole immediate family - brothers, kids, and grandson, plus one of the kids-in-law. Ain't we cute? |
 |
| Tortilla party! We had to show off our tortilla skills - don't think we passed on the tradition, but fun was had anyway. |
 |
| I believe the tortillas were enjoyed. The leaning tower of 52 tortillas was reduced to this lonely little guy by the end of the night. |
 |
| The summer season definitely ended just as we were packing up to go. Fresh snow on McGregor = time for Florida! |
 |
| We had a super sendoff from a dedicated group of rainy day friends! |
 |
| Another season done in Stehekin, with more super memories, and some decent photos. |
We're now in Florida, and have little access to wifi besides when we visit friends. We'll try to post more, but we'll need to settle in a bit. I guess you can call us snowbirds now!
