Leavenworth, WA
The drive to Leavenworth is incredible, as is the surrounding area. These docile horses are rented out to tourists during the peak seasons and can be found by The Sleeping Lady Inn near Icicle Creek.
Further up Icicle Creek are hiking paths leading into some ruggedly beautiful landscape ...
The Bavarian charm of town is captured in their signage, home architecture and even their public transportation system! How cute is this trolley style bus?
One of our favorite valleys to drive through has some of the most amazing homesteads. I can't imagine who lives in these beautiful foothills but I'm willing to bet they're blood pressure beats the city folks!
This beautiful cabin is located in Plain, Washington. Probably one of the most picturesque little towns around. Very quiet, secluded and independent.
Here is a fine example of courteousness extended to the female sort ... this lovely tortoise decorated toilet seat in the plywood bathroom stall is for patrons of the Wenatchee Airport (which is simply a stretch of grass)
Lake Wenatchee ... the wind was ripping across the water so fast and steady that it drew tears down my cheeks and numbed my fingers to the bone.
Driving through the pass on the way back home ... the hills are just barely dusted with the first snow of the season. Soon this will be covered in several feet of snow to the delight of the local winter sports enthusiasts.
Beautiful creeks and rivers are scattered throughout the region ... I trenched through the ditches and climbed through the rocks to get to this little brook. Tripod and slow exposure makes the water appear veiled and misty.
We made our way back home by way of Whidbey Island, crossed the Deception Pass Bridge and took the Keystone Ferry home.
Below is the RV Park at Keystone ... I watched a large sealion play in the surf while we waited for our ferry to come in. Pretty beautiful, isn't it?
