May 6th

Today, I changed out table signs while Sonny used the  back pack blower to move pine needles off the roads.

The signs remind campers that there is a limit of 2 tents per pad.

These sites are open and right under tall pines.  Sonny filled
the GEM up several times with pine needles.  

Someone left a rock collection on a stump.

We took a ride into Leavenworth for coffee, lunch and groceries. The weather is 3* warmer than yesterday with intermittent showers which means it got to 60*  People in Leavenworth were dressed as if it were in the 70s.

We took the back roads through Plain.  This is one of the oldest homes
in Plain. The siding is made of wooden slabs that is chinked.  There
are 4 large draft horses in the barn.  Can you see the tan one?

Beaver Valley in Plain

The mountains around Leavenworth still show snow but
it was a bad year for winter activity here. 

Of course!

After dinner, we walked the campground picking up litter.  We have
one family of campers from the Tri Cities on their way to the San Juans. The sunset
was pretty though this photo doesn't capture it very well. The
lake is as low as it was when we left last September.  The
Ranger  says it will come up some but the community
is preparing for a very dry, hot summer with high forest fire
danger.
