The beach was wall to wall people, nice to see people out and about. But I didn’t take many photos. I walked logs and enjoyed the sun and ephemeral beauty of the sky .. I offer 2 photos only. Shadows were long but the sun washed the lighthouse and buildings well. Paint color. Sun drenched white.
The search for snow goes on…
Snowy frozen rivers like the Mad River in Entiat, which flows of course. It’s not totally frozen. But it might be depending upon the temperatures and snow covering.
Found this river searching for snow many years ago but even though I’ve returned a few times to see it this way again, it hasn’t happened until now. It’s worth looking for the frozen beauty of this fast flowing river.
Was going to stay in Leavenworth a few nights, maybe longer but it was a Saturday night. The rooms increased over double in a short period of time. And higher.
Some rooms were over 400.00 easy.
Drove on an hour to Chelan. No big deal. There were options closer but was headed to Chelan anyway.
No new snow is falling. Not sure where to go from here. But will stay another day and see what’s going on around here before heading either to Stehekin via boat up the lake 52 miles.
Or and ..Twisp and Winthrop and around those places for snow shoeing and x-country skiing.
Mazama perhaps.
I no longer recommend Inn at Arch Rock.
I won’t go back.
The junk outside in the parking lot is always piled there. I’m not wanting to post the photos but these people can afford to do better. But it’s gone steadily downhill except for soaring prices.
I couldn’t get an answer to reserve a room. That’s always a bad omen. So made it from their site online. The photos on their site showed old photos of charming rooms. Now the rooms look very cheap and coffee maker is on a shelf where you can’t add water to it to make coffee
The room was reorganized in the worst way possible. The. Breakfast was dry scrambled eggs and tasteless sausage gravy not home made pastries. Eggs may have been powdered?
Biscuit's nothing to brag about.
No room service for the 5 days stay but didn’t get notified about it until after the cancellation date had passed. Beds and pillows terribly uncomfortable. Bedspreads not so nice. New stuff was black cheap and not functional. The room was 217.00 a night.
I didn’t make a complaint as who wants to do that when you’re having a holiday? Or Christmas. I thought they must have sold to someone because it was tasteless. Anyway I would not recommend Inn at Arch Rock anymore. The view is nice. It on its own a yurt might be better. The showers are still like a coffin. They could remodel them, there’s an unnecessary closet if the furniture is situated correctly. But I think they are just greedy from this last stay, and I never support greed. As much as I don’t want to post truly awful images here I will in case anyone’s interested. Thing is they know what they’re doing. But if no one does anything it will get worse. Compare and contrast with my other posts there.
