Salt Castings

We picked up a permits from the ranger station in North Bend today and headed up to the area around Denny Creek to harvest trees with Uncle Beefer, Erin, Kate, Don and Becky.    The open area was along FSR 5510.  We drove up about 3 miles, just above where the snow line would be if there was any this year.   I know this because the rain turned to hail and then to snowflakes the size of golf balls just as we parked.   The wind howled and we all got soaked.  Dawn paraded LuLu around in a puffy pink one-piece getup – complete with idot mittens – in the backpack.  Once the trees were loaded up we piled into Don’s van for hot chocolate and ham sandwiches.  Ho Ham Ho.
