WHERE DO YOU GO AGAIN?
although my flights take me through sea-tac airport my true destination in my seSONAL TRAVEL TO WA. IS LAKE CHELAN, MOSTLY CHELANWA.&MANSON,WA.
The Lake Chelan Valley sits in central Washington State, nestled in the North Cascades National Forest. The Chelan Valley encompasses the communities of Chelan, Manson & Stehekin. This pristine, 50.5 mile glacier-fed lake is 1.5 miles at its widest and 1486 ft. at its deepest point. The population of the valley consists of 10,000 year-round residents and several hundred more part-time residents.
Roads extend less than halfway to the headwaters of Lake Chelan. Beyond the end of the road, rugged snowcapped peaks rise over 7,000 feet from the lakeshore. Dark evergreens cover the mountainsides. Deep valleys rise from the lake to massive glaciers in the heart of the North Cascades. At the upper end of Lake Chelan, limited, local roads do not connect the communities of Stehekin and Holden Village to the outside world.http://www.lakechelan.com/
PLEASE VISIT THE LINK AS THE BEAUTYOF THE AREA CANNOT BE DESCRIBED BY MERE WORDS!AS SOOON AS MY DUCKS ARE IN A ROW I'LL BE MOVING TO THIS PART OF THE WORLD. IT'S RURAL BUT SCENIC AND A RELATIVELY SHORT DRIVE TO SEATTLE-PORTLAND- AND FOR A LONGER HAUL I CAN GET TO S.F./OAKLAND IN 15 HOURS. MY NEXT TRIP IS IN OCTOBER FOR HALLOWEEN! /ALEXAVIER
