We took a trip up to Mt. Baker last weekend for a few days and had a really great time. Here’s essentially the view from the deck of the cabin.
We stayed with friends near Glacier, WA and had absolutely fantastic weather. We continue our streak of sunny days out here although they are taking their toll on my grass which is pretty much completely brown by now.
The cabin was about 10 miles from cell phone coverage which was a nice change of pace. I actually took a very quick and chilly dip in the Nooksack River (North Fork, actually) after some good old fashioned peer pressure from the other gents on the trip. It was very, very cold. Imagine submerging in a glass of ice water and you’ll understand what it felt like. Snow melt is in full gear and the water is ice cold. Riley enjoyed the water and the sticks…
Here’s a map of where we went. It’s a nice area not too far from Seattle which made for a pretty short drive home on Sunday afternoon.
