Leavenworth

We visited Leavenworth on a bright, sunny day and had a stroll about. As you can see, there are people about, but it is by no means crowded. Most of the restaurants are in business, but the majority of eating is moved outside. For those of you who are interested in such things, we are right at the foot of the Cascades, looking west.

On the Road to Coulee City

So, after finally getting my new Fuji GFX camera and lens sorted out I decided I needed a "shakedown cruise" to learn my way around using the camera. Looking about a place to drive that wasn't too far away, I settled on a visit to Coulee City and Grand Coulee to see what there was to see. Nominally, this was a trip to the dam and Grand Coulee, but I discovered much more.

I took US 2 all the way. On the west side of the Cascade Mountains, I detoured toward a fish hatchery not far from Gold Bar (actual town name) where I could get a clearer look at the mountains in the clouds and fog. As you can see above, the weather was pretty thick.
