Onward to San Juans




A couple of weeks ago, we had another chance to go up in a plane with Randy's friend from work. Randy flew us to Roche Harbor where we landed and walked around the docks. It was fun to learn about the history of this town where former President Teddy Roosevelt would vacation. Roche Harbor was an old mining town that was turned into a boating town. Now it is a haven for tourists traveling to San Juan Island and boaters. After strolling around with our friend, we flew back to the airport. This time I flew us back to the airport. (Note: we flew in a Moonie that had two sterring wheels, so Greg really was flying but we had the experience.)

Fall pictures




This fall we have been enjoying our maple tree colors. All around Washington, the colors are spectacular!
We were visited by the elusive Piliated Woodpecker. His head was red and his body was about 12 inches long. He had a hard time staying on the feeder.
