A few days in Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest

With just a single week to go before our big date with a sailboat – the longest week ever – we set out to get in some more boondocking. Originally we tried a few possible locations along side what we thought was a lake. It turned out that they were actually reservoirs, drained to the stumps and the camping possibilities were trashed. We moved on, finally settling on a gravel road that parallels the Interstate in the Mt Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest. Here, dozens of spots sprinkle the road each just as amazing as the other thanks to the thick, mossy, forest.

The weather-gods didn’t get the message we would be camping this week. Much of the time in the first two days was in the rain. Not really a problem for us to be in the van for days at a time, but just outside was this beautiful forest full of mushrooms. Kerri got to exploring no matter the weather. I did my exploring with Moose – just the two of us in the mornings.

In the end, after three days camped under the trees with no sun, we had to pack up and leave for some electricity, but it was nice to get in a few more days of solitude. We expect that the boondocking will be put on hold for a while as of next week.
