What started as a day off turned into a journey to a place I have dreamed of always going.
I set off not really knowing where exactly I was going but I knew what direction so I took off going the long way.
I am a sucker for 2 things when I adventure and abandoned buildings and docks,they always get me to stop as I did.
Soon I found the place I had chosen on my journey “Lake Cushman” it sits at the bottom of what they call the Staircase.
The lake seemed oddly quiet and I was the only one here for sure.
The lake was drained out for the winter but it was still huge with some of the strangest water I have ever seen. I sat for a long while on a piece of cement that is usually submerged and as I turned to go a huge splash erupted from the water, must have been a huge fish.
After driving a bit I found a place to hike and I was ready, I always keep my hiking gear in my car because you never know when your going to find something to hike.
I desperately wanted to get to the ridge line but I knew I could not make it so I stopped where I was at and enjoyed.
I would have liked to break through the fog more so I could have seen the lake but I felt like maybe something was telling me to enjoy what I got.
So I did and then promptly made my way down the mountain.
Back in the car I took off into the mountain
roads heading for home shooting through time and space high on life and enjoying it.
