Heaven on Earth. For the past couple of days, I was at Ross Lake Resort(WA) in the North Cascades National Park. The lake is actually a dammed up river(Skagit River). The dam generates power for Seattle City Light. All of the cabins are built on floating docks. Many of the float logs supporting the docks and buildings are old-growth red cedar used in the original floating camp( for workers building the dam) that became the resort nearly 60 years ago. Some of these are more than 3 ft. in diameter and hundreds of years old! Getting there can be quite the challenge. A long drive, a decent hike down the mountain side(beautiful) and then a boat ride across(there's also a ferry that costs a lot to take. I opted for the hike). So only bring what you can carry! It's not accessible by road. It was so lovely to be in complete isolation for a few days. I got a lot of reading done :)
