Over to Seattle and Back

On Tuesday, we needed to clean only a few sites since there were just a handful of campers. We picked up litter on the trails and around the bathrooms for a few hours before heading back to Seattle in the late afternoon. 



Bob's new sun glasses.  Sonny found a large wine bottle
stuffed in a squirrel hole.  Did the owner really think
it could be hidden like that??




Pretty bird feathers




The vine maples are just beautiful.

Pudding at lunchtime














As we headed up Snoqualmie Pass,  we could

see the smoke line begin just beyond North

Bend. That was the end of a blue sky day.  Even

at Lake Wenatchee, there is a light haze.




Lake Nachess reflections in the smokey haze.





Firefighters encampment East of Cle Elum. 

We heard tonight that there is another encampment

at the South end of the State Park. 

\We'll check that out tomorrow.



Smoke rising from the Liberty fire East of
Cle Elum taken through the windshield, hence
the black dots.



Fires burning above Liberty.





The smoke begins to settle in on Blewett Pass.




The surrounding mountains can't be seen
in the smoke.

 

The sun was an orange orb in the smokey haze.

 

Beginning to see evidence of fire crews in the area.



Leavenworth haze seems thicker than when we were here
on Sunday.
