Playing in the Leaves






































































Tiger report: Baker Lake

Grrr!
On Saturday, I rode to Baker Lake on the east side of Mt. Baker.
Edge of road- straight down 30 feet into lake.








I am getting pretty used to the Washington language, but some words are still hard to read. (There were tons of huge fallen trees blocking this road- hard to imagine the effort needed to keep all these roads open. Every winter brings down thousands of trees, washouts, etc.)



































The lake was created by a building a dam. There are hundreds of stumps from trees that were cut down before it was built. Some of these stumps were about 7-8' in diameter.









































Water is really low at this time of year.

When in the mountains, there is always a Japanese dude to snap your pic.

Little trip in the foothills
