Wild Wonderful Washington by Ferry: North Cascades Pt V

 

I was totally enamored with the moss!  It was so pretty.  It was so thick on all the rocks it was like someone painted it on there to hide them. 

Ranier at Sunrise

There were LOADS of apple and pear farms and about as many wineries.

Wind power!

Winery From our ferry on Lake Chelan into the  heart of the North Cascades. 

Loved that this ONE ferry that comes daily in the summer but only MONTHLY during the rest of the year (only 90 folks live in this village of Stehekin in the Cascade Range) brings all their groceries and their mail! The mailman was the first to greet the ferry with his small cart.

Rainbow Falls

Wineries abound.

Love the teal Lakes!

I was so excited to see where my organic cereal is grown and packaged!

This is only the 2nd time I have seen a sea plane take off .  It looked like he was going to fly into the mountains, but he whipped it right around!
