                       Camping, August 17-19, 2009                     

 

 

 

On Monday, we went back to a ridge close to Mt. Elenor with a view of Lake Cushman in the Olympic National Forest.

 

The haze and far-off clouds prevented us from seeing out as far as the last time we visited this location.  Also, it was in direct sun so it was quite toasty while we were there!  We ended up packing up and leaving without taking pictures of ourselves! lol!

 

In addition to taking pictures, I had fun trying out a new camping recipe, Cheese Steak Sandwiches!  They turned out totally grubbin!  I'm looking forward to having them again soon!

It looks like this will be our last camping trip for the season, since the clouds are here and the rain is on the way!  We had lots of fun and took some excellent pictures!

I took a few pictures of the back yard before we left for the Olympics.

 

 

Spores! This is a fun back lit picture!
Here we are in the Olympics on the way up to the Mt. Elinor trailhead.

 

 

More ferns! I saw many ferns!
Fall colors!

 

 

   
 

 

 

   
This is my favorite fern picture of the trip!  

 

 

A bit further up the road we saw this glacial runoff.
A waterfall from the glacial runoff of Mt. Elinor.

 

 

Closer up! The bottom of the waterfall.
  This is one way that rocks get round! Lake Cushman.

This tree has grown up significantly over the last couple of years!

 

 

More Lake Cushman.

 

 

Mt. Elinor. Blooming Thistle!
I like the shapes that were created when the road was made.

 

A tree and rocks from the ridge area. The End!

Thank You for visiting!
