Hello from Washington! Since my last post, I’ve been able to spend a few more days enjoying these Cascade Mountains, but have moved out of the North Cascades area and more in to the central part of Washington’s cascade range. Make no mistake though, there’s still plenty of lush forests and never ending mountains where I’m at now. The last few days have also seen an increase in weather activity. These incoming storms have made for some real interesting nights in the woods when the winds really picked up. The sounds of the wind were whipping through tree tops so quickly and in such a chaotic sounding manner that at points it was impossible to not feel surrounded by a tornado passing through the forests. I’m not sure there is anywhere else in the world where these noises could be replicated other than a different deep, mountainous forest. But that makes me very happy, as I’ll still be spending some more time in these mountains exploring those peculiar moments of noise.
Pictures:
These mountains are known as the “Alps of America”
Diablo Lake. Another dam made lake in Washington state.
I enjoy playing with the mountains’ reflections in the reservoirs.

Got to be one of the coolest looking dams I’ve seen before.

The river banks in these forests are all beautiful and covered in a multitude of plants and trees. These riverbanks go on like this for miles.
Eventually these trees will be carried away down the mighty river behind them. It’s only a matter of time.
Sometimes the forest breaks it’s dense underbelly and exposes a moment like this.
