Photos: Week 66

Dear Readers,

We took a 4-day vacation to Ross Lake Resort last week. Here is Part 1 of my photo tour. Part 2 will post next Monday. Enjoy!

Small Town Humor. On our way to Ross Lake Resort, we passed through the tiny town of Concrete, where I appreciated their welcome sign.

Diablo Lake. The very cool bridge we crossed before parking to wait for the ferry.

Retro. The small Diablo Lake ferry had an awesome color scheme going on.

Through the Looking Glass. A dizzying reflection on the lake.

The Resort! The only floating cabins in North America.

Our Bedroom. Very cozy.

Woodstove. Our cabin's source of heat.

Mainland. The only path from the resort to land.

Glow. The cabins at night.

Morning Mountains and Ross Lake Dam. Water here provides about 30% of Seattle's power!

View from the Top. We hiked along the Big Beaver Trail, and came to this lookout, where you can see the dam and resort (on the right).

Mushroom Family. The Ross Lake area is full of mushrooms, and these three were the cutest.

Ross Dam Trail. Beautiful fall colors.

View from the Dam. The cabins stretched out below the trees.

Geometry. A section of the dam.

Red, Yellow, Orange. Reflections in the lake.

Moss Bumps. A Dr. Seuss rock wall covered in fuzzy green polka dots.

Man, That's Steep. The terrifying view from the top of the dam.

Magic Tree. A tree growing out of a rotten stump in the middle of the lake.

Swiss Feeling. The combination of cozy wooden buildings, snowy mountains, and woodsmoke made me miss Switzerland!

Hourglass. Mountains and clouds, times two.
