North Bend -- Historical Railway Station
Snoqualmie Falls
Taking a break from lopping on the last dayOur second to last hitch, took us the farthest north that we would be going. We were west of CLE Elum in Washington and about an hour east of Seattle. The week was 8 days of lopping/clearing brush. Even though lopping is one of my favorite things to do on the trail, 8 days of it is not all it is cracked up to be.
After 4 days of being wet/cold/rainy, it was time for a "development day." We all needed a break so we went to North Bend, Snoqualmie Falls (cascades 270 feet (100 feet higher than Niagara Falls) through a rock gorge), and then into Seattle to REI and other site seeing.
The day after our "development day", we had a team of 9 (5 girls, 4 guys) Envirocorps come out and join us for remainder of the week. It was fun to have them join us. We enjoyed a game or two around the campfire.
On the last day of lopping, we knew it was time to stop when one of the leaders laughed so hard that they were brought to tears.
