With the late night before, today was a lazy day. After a long sojourn – it’s time to start thinking about leaving The Woods. I got some of the little projects done that needed to be done. The 15W solar panel was installed (we’ll be needed it next week) – and I took the pop-up “off the grid” – to ensure that everything was working properly. I decided to shorten our stay in the Olympics in order to visit Mt St Helens. It’s a nice break point on the trip east – and I’d like to see it. We were living in Seattle in 1980 – when she blew – and I haven’t been there since. Got online – and determined our best bet for camping was Seaquest State Park – so I made reservations at a “primitive” site – no power or water – for a couple of nights. Might as well practice what we’ve been testing! HA!
During the day the boys found an albino cricket. Really. I was working on something – probably gathering all out scattered stuff – and I heard… “Hey! A PINK cricket.” Uh-huh. “No, really mom look at it.” And it was pink. Not flesh pink – hot pink, with white eyes. I took a bunch of pictures – sadly – they got eaten with the Mt. Rainier pictures.
It’s hard to leave The Woods – we’re having such a great time. And it’s nice to be all set up. But, it really is time to be moving on.
