Next Friday night is the "nightglow" downtown Winthrop, with the hot air balloons lighting up for all to enjoy, along with special activities for children. The next day is the hot air balloon festival and Shep and I will show up to help crew a balloon-LOVE it!
Shep is standing on a mountain top and behind him is Lake Chelan. We love to snowmobile, x-country ski and snowshoe. The winter sports and outdoor activities are great. Our fav x-country skiing area is in the National Forest up on the Loup Loup pass. Quiet, pretty, and rarely see other skiiers. We do have lots of eagles, ravens, and other types of birds. Our mule deer herds are the largest in the state. A traffic jam is having to stop and wait for 8 or 10 deer to cross the road.
We get our Christmas tree in the National Forest each December. Price: $5.00 Time together as a family: Priceless!
