Wednesday September 26th

Today, is our regular day off but we decided to stay around instead of driving to Seattle since we'll be doing that soon enough. We had two campers last night, one in each loop.  Only one reservation signed up to come in.  We checked that campsite and cleaned up the over nighter before heading off the Leavenworth so Sonny could get a round of golf in.  The smoke was much lighter but still present.  I wandered around town, had a latte and read up on the Autumn Leaf Festival happening this weekend.  Big parade including the 133D US Army Band and the Cornucopia Concert Band.  Both are also putting on concerts after the parade. 

One day, while I was raking, I
found a metal piece with a
spring in it.  We wondered what it was
till I saw this toy in Leavenworth. Our toy
was missing the tail piece. 

On our way back to camp, we stopped at the Lake Wenatchee Air Strip
to check out the helicopters.  There were 5 lined up on the runway after
their day of running water. I was glad I didn't need a bathroom as this was
what was available.

 

We had lunch in town and then did the grocery shopping before heading back to camp.  We walked the two campground loops and went down to the lake to catch the amazing sunset over the mountains.  What a blessing to sit there by the quiet lake and watch the changing colors.



Rising smoke in the sky and smoke
in the lower valley.



Looking South at Emerald Island off the beach at South Park.



Sonny watching the sunset from the driftwood pile.



What an evening for a kayak though it would spoil that pretty
reflection.



We made our daily trip up to the head of the lake to check on the
Sears Creek fire.  Still burning....No wind today so the smoke mostly
sits in the valleys.
