We went on a 4-mile hike yesterday at Golden Doe Wildlife Area just outside of Twisp. It's an incredibly scenic area with long views of the valley and North Cascade mountains. The wildflowers looked like a garden blooming after this wet, wet spring.
OK, I was told the hike was "only 3 miles" so thankful to keep up with these athletes. At least, not holding them up. We had a gourmet picnic lunch along the way. By the time the day was done, I'd clocked over 12,000 steps. A hot bath and early to bed.
It rained all night and I woke to a loud roaring noise. Yikes, the river? No, just a strong wind whipping the trees in front of the house. What weather. We're a good 20 degrees below the seasonal average today. And the girls have swim team this morning at the Twisp City Park outdoor pool. Burr.
Over the past few days, the Methow has stayed at pretty much the same high level, give or take 1,000 cfs. Fortunately, the intense storms didn't stall over central Washington and moved east into Idaho and Montana. On the bright side, this year is a real bonanza for the dry land farmers.
