On The Road Again

Highway 20 | Cascade River Road | Baker Lake Road

At last we had a Saturday with both of us home plus fairly decent weather. We took a little road trip North and East to catch up with some of our favorite places and things.

 
 
First stop, and hey, there's something to photograph. (Not me!)
 
 
 
It's Roosevelt Elks, ignoring us while they dine.
 
 
 
Along Highway 20 Sauk Mountain looks down on the meandering Skagit River.
 
 
 

Not many Bald Eagles were around today but I found one near Rockport.
 

 
 

We stopped at a lookout on the Cascade River Road.
 

 
 
Here's a close-up of the peak.
 
 
 
Tim took our traditional picture here before we had lunch.
 
 
 
Near Baker Lake Road we caught a glimpse of the elusive Glacier Mountain.
 
 
 
Sauk Mountain is viewed from Burpee Hill Road too.
 
 
 
Mount Baker is wearing a cap today - a lenticular cloud, just like Glacier Mountain.
 
 
 
Baker Lake reflects the lovely Mount Shuksan.
 
 
 
Here's a closeup of the peak, called Shuksan Tower.
 
 
 
And guess who was the Dog Poo Magnet today? Hint: not me!
Tim's much calmer than I am, that's for sure.
