"Hi readers! After traveling to almost every State in the Nation, I have to admit, Washington has it all...well, at least in the summer, which is the only time I've been there. I was visiting friends in Seattle, and ended up at Lake Chelan. The drive was 3 hours of magical and spectacular sights. I..." come from the Desert of Scottsdale AZ, so I know Mountains, but the Mountains from Seattle to Lake Chelan make ours here in AZ look like a cartoon. These mountains on this drive are so HIGH and GREEN it is hard to keep your eyes on the road. It is just absolutely mesmerizing.The temperature goes from 40 degrees in Seattle and went up to almost 90 degrees by the time we arrived at Lake Chelan. And it was DRY! Who knew? Dry heat is NOT a word I would think anyone would use describing Washington. The lake is serene of course but the surrounding area is like a story book of quaint homes, boats just sitting still in the water as though they are posing for a Painting to be made. There are pl...

"We wanted to get away for a while without going very far, so we decided to go Rain Camping. If you're not familiar, Rain Camping is where you look at the forecast, see that 2 - 5 inches of rain are predicted for the area you want to go in the time you think you'll be there, and you decide to go anyw..."ay. Tent's got a good rain fly and we both had good rain gear, so we decided to go.
There are no services in Colonial Creek Campground during the winter. Everything is locked up with the exception of one outhouse in the south-of-the-highway campground and one outhouse in the north-of-the-highway campground. There is no toilet paper provided, so make sure to bring your own if you'll be rain camping like we did.
We did a lot of wandering around the campground, and it's just gorgeous. The lakefront sites are all that's open for camping right now, but they're beautiful. The lakewater looks clear when you're right next to it, but it gleams a lovely green-blue most of the time. There were ...

"If you reside in Washington State or if you happen to be traveling over the Cascade Mountains, try to incorporate into you travels, a trip over the North Cross Cascade Highway, especially if the weather is right. What a beautiful drive you will have. I have special personal interest in this highwa..."y as my Great Grandfather explored this area in the 1890's when he was appointed as a Washington State Road Commissioner. One of the routes they explored for a northern wagon route was that of this highway. A trip across this section of the Cascade Mountains on a clear sunny summer day you will not regret.
