A Trip to the Mountains

A few days ago my parents had to go over the mountains to pick some elk meat that my dad had dropped by the processor after getting his elk last month, and the kids and I got to go along. We'd been cooped up in the house for a few days and were starting to go a little stir crazy, so this was the perfect opportunity to get out of the house and have a good time.

On the ferry deck

The tallest mountains had a dusting of snow on them. :)



We had so much fun!
We picked up the elk meat at Owen's Brother's, then went and visited Teanaway, which is a valley just over the ridge from Cle Elum. It's gorgeous, and I grew up camping there with my family nearly every year.








There are a bunch of ranches with cute farmhouses and pretty barns, gorgeous views of the mountains and  more often than not you will find wild turkeys, deer or elk grazing in the meadows along with horses or cows.


At the campground we got out and explored and it was so much fun to see the kids have fun running around playing where I spent so many fall days riding bikes, climbing trees and swimming in the river.

The fall leaves were just gorgeous!!

The kids found a bouncy log and had fun playing on it 


We walked across this log to get to the other side of the river.
 The kids thought that was SO cool!
I thought it was a little scary, but still cool. 



This is "The Shoe Tree". For whatever reason, people have been putting shoes on this tree for probably 20 years.
 It's just a big tree at one of the campsites that's become a novelty. :) 





We headed for home as the sun sank behind the hills, looking forward to next spring when it's warm enough to go camping again and to experience the beauty and adventure Teanaway has to offer. :)

Hey there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and
let you know a few of the images aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I
think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different browsers and both show the same outcome.

First of all I want to say terrific blog! I had a quick question which I'd like to ask if you don't mind.
I was curious to find out how you center
yourself and clear your thoughts prior to writing.
I've had a difficult time clearing my mind in getting my thoughts out there. I truly do enjoy writing however it just seems like the first 10 to 15 minutes are generally lost simply just trying to figure out how to begin. Any ideas or hints? Appreciate it!

Have you ever thought about including a little bit more than just your articles?
I mean, what you say is important and all. Nevertheless
imagine if you added some great pictures or video clips to give your posts more, "pop"!
Your content is excellent but with images and
videos, this website could definitely be one of the
best in its niche. Great blog!

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your

But think about if you added some great pictures or video
