Yesterday, Chris and his brother, Mike, went out on the ocean for salmon fishing. Chris is the only one who got one....got a bunch of salmon steaks from this baby. They returned pretty tired...lots of hard work, you know. Andrea and I took the opportunity to browse the antique shops in Kalama and had a super time. We went until we found one shop served espresso also. That gave us the excuse to sit, rest the ole' feet and enjoy the surroundings. Had loads of fun.
Today we piled in the gimmy for a day trip to see Mt. St. Helens. Andrea grew up in the shadow of this majestic mountain...and it was a sad day for her when 4,000 foot of this comfortable giant that she had walked all over as a young girl blew up. It is still formidable and majestic.
We drove by many beautiful lakes on the way to Mt. St. Helens. This is Yale Lake. I won't tell you how Mike, the tour guide, drove 60 miles out of the way, missing the turn-off, looking for the over-look to see the back side of Mt. St. Helens; that's the side that blew away. Tomorrow we leave for Payette, Idaho. Should be a beautiful trip. It's getting warm here....so, time to leave. ...and head toward the higher, cooler country.
Don't know when we'll get access to internet next, so, until we "connect" again...
