On Friday night I checked the Trail News for Mount Baker Highway. I
watch it every day, in fact, to see if the road to Heather Meadows and
Artist Point is open yet. It's one of my favorite places in Washington.
I was so excited that I got all my
gear together, packed the lunch the night before and got up extra early.
Much to my dismay, it appeared that someone had jumped the gun with the
announcement as the road was gated at Austin Pass. The snowplough was
apparently still 1/4 mile away from Artist Point. Nevertheless, it was
a gorgeous day and the scenery was spectacular.
