Day 4 - Desert to Mountains

We awoke to sun and I to excellent coffee. It wasn't long however, before we were back on the roads. First, we sneaked over dirt for a half hour to Ellensburg. After a gas up, we followed Joel and Lynne up to the Pass.




While a major clean-up was occurring at the cabin, Jay and I borrowed the big diesel truck and headed to Lake Kachess for lunch at the day-use beach. Yet the day wasn't all play and no work. Well, wait a minute. It was.



We went in search of huckleberries by 4-wheeling. The bushes were plentiful up on the many US Forest Service Roads but the berries were a little scarce this year. Still, although I ate more than contributed, some were left for pancakes tomorrow morning. We dined, talked, and slept soundly with windows to a perfect view.
