Seattle, WA. Back from the Enchantments in the Alpine Wilderness near Leavenworth. For the last three mornings I've woken to the cover of a National Geographic. The mountains in the Enchantment Wilderness are not to be missed. If you live in the Northwest, you should see these as soon as possible. Some are jagged ridgelines, some are LOTR pinnacles, and some are waves of granite moving across the sky. We were blessed with perfect weather, and my only complaint is the mosquitoes at our final campsite. I've included a few pictures to give you an idea of this blessed place.
It is strange to be outside and moving around for three days in a row. It seemed I should feel different at times, but I felt as though I was in a sort of publication. The views are just stunning all around. It's like being in a painting. I worried over being too wrapped up in pictures from everyday life, but now I'm thinking "that's why they call them the Enchantments." It's another world up there.
