(Once again, I'm not getting internet at the ranch, so am sending it on our way to Spokane.)
We came home from Mount Vernon over Highway 20, the North Cascades Highway. This highway closes down in the wintertime as it goes through some of the most scenic mountains in Washington State. It's been several years since we had driven this way and it was a gorgeous day to do it. After some last hugs from the grandkids and their mother, we left around eleven o'clock.
It's still cold up in the Cascade Mountains and the snow remains on some of the north facing slopes! Most likely some of it will still be there when this winter's snow starts to fall on top of it...
Our drive took us through the beautiful Methow River Valley on the eastern side of the state. This is orchard country. You could see all of the apples beginning to turn red, getting ready for harvest.
It was easy to see it was getting towards harvest time, as trucks were busy transporting the big boxes out to the orchards.
We made a stop in Brewster for gas and a bite to eat, finally getting back to the ranch just as it had gotten dark.
