The mountain passes are pretty much shut down this morning, but I had an excellent driving window on Saturday just before the storm. Dry roads and light traffic, you can't ask for anything more. I left Twisp at first light and encountered maybe a dozen cars the first 75 miles to Lone Pine.
It was an uneventful drive until just outside Cle Elum, when large herd of elk crossing the highway brought traffic to a stop. What magnificent creatures, especially up close like that!
Speaking of the beauty of nature, did you know the equine eye is the largest of all land mammals? Their incredible, deep eyes simply can't be ignored. The selfie above is with "Buttons." I walked her around the pasture for exercise (both of us) while Nova was riding on Friday.
Anyway, just settling into our usual routines and getting ready for company. We'll see Bruce and Karen this weekend, and my sister Marji arrives next week. Hopefully the weather settles down some by then.
