Weekend Ride

Weather was great for riding in the mountains this past weekend! We drove out to Roslyn, WA and drove around Keechelus and Cle Elum Lakes. Nothing better than a warm summer day driving around a mountain lake!

Great picture of some of the mountains during the ride!

Of course Twinkie was along since it was a exploring adventure. Here we are enjoying Keechelus Lake. You can get to this just off I-90. Great little place to stop and have a picnic if you are doing a long haul on the interstate.

Against my better judgement I decided to get into the picture with Twinkie! All leather ed up for the day's ride. I would have rather been in the water! They even rent paddle boats if you are so inclined.

Here you can see more the park next to the lake. Its a perfect place for an afternoon picnic. Lots of shade, comfy grass. You can still here the traffic from the interstate though.

And can you believe it! In the middle of no-where's vill, someone carved a mushroom out of an old stump! It was a great place for it! It was very exciting!


Along the way we stopped in Roslyn, WA. A very small little town just north of the the interstate. For those who don't' know, the T.V. series Northern Exposure did some filming there. The mural pictured above is in the opening credits where the moose is shown walking down the main street of town.

Also the local bar/cafe in the show, The Brick is located here also. Stopped in for a drink! They have an old running water trough right below your feet at the bar for spitting! Icky, but cool all that the same time. Caught the last bit of the UW vs BYU game while there. Not many happy people.

Picture along the side of the road on the north end of Cle Elum Lake. Very beautiful scenery! During the drive we saw lots of land for sale! Pretty soon it will be like Lake Chelan. Busy and over crowded.

The ride home was very peaceful.
