North Bend, WA....

We are in North Bend, WA, and will have our roof repaired by Tiffin July 25-27. We have adjusted our plans accordingly. Instead of heading east in August (we had originally planned for mid June), we will head slowly for the southwest, spending time in Ely, Nevada for explorations, arriving in Goodyear around the first of October.


We are in beautiful Valley Camp, east of North Bend, right at the base of Snoqualmie Pass with snow on the mountains around us. Of course there has been rain, intermixed with partly cloudy days where the sun managed to almost dry out things... Yesterday the sun managed to burn away the clouds drying out everything! We even cooked steaks out on the grill! Rain is back today, however.... Here are a couple of pictures of "our meadow" with the snowy mountain in the background!

Deer and elk frequent our area mornings and evenings. Rusty plops herself by the window by the door for elk watch. However, when she goes out when they are around, each just look at the other like "...and, what are you, and what are you doing here....?"  Rupert barked once and the elk ran a little ways, stopped and looked back with that same look... There have been as many as 9 elk, and most recently we have seen 5 along with 5 young deer.

Rupert LOVES the grass, and chasing his ball in the grass! He takes "baths" as he rolls in the wet grass after bringing his ball back....! It will be interesting to see what he does when he gets back to the dusty southwest!

Enjoying the journey, enjoying the coolness....
