Mis-adventures of a Letterboxer-Errant

like a tree without leaves or fruit, or a body without a soul"

26 & counting...

It's official---26 days of continuous rain!

7 more days of rain and we'll break Seattle's record.

A fortnight and we'll tie Noah and his motley crew. ;)


Caught this rainbow during a rare moment between storms on 11 Jan 06.
Notice how dark the plants in the foreground are?


A few seconds later the sun cast its light upon the bushes for an instant.
That was our 'window of sun' for the week, so far.
Anybody want to move to Seattle???
The rainbow quickly departed & left us with continued deluges and high winds.


In our desperation for exercise we snuck out in the rain to our local 'park' and ran around the 1-mile lake four times. Saw two Bald Eagles high atop the trees along the way (one adult, one juvenile). We wonder if this juvenile is the one that hatched from a nearby nest this past Spring? After all, this park is about 2 miles as the crow flies from the nest.
This picture was the best we could do. Only noticed the eagles after they started screeching to eachother. By the way, if you're interested, check out the Bald Eagle Exchange Letterbox not too far from this nest.

Get this!
They've closed Mt Baker Ski Area because they've gotten TOO MUCH SNOW!!!
How's that for irony???
Stay safe & dry out there!
Enjoy the adventure!!!

Wow! That is irony. Who'd a thought that a ski resort would close because of too much snow. But, it does make sense, especially if the snow has buried all of the lifts..
