We left Crescent Bar about 10:30 on Tuesday morning. We had about 75 miles to go to reach Leavenworth.
We had a pretty uneventful trip. Hope you enjoy our scenic drive.
 |
| We stopped at Smallwood’s Fruitstand and walked around there grounds. This is the cow train and scarecrow keeping watch over the cow cars. |
 |
| How about an upside down scarecrow? |
 |
| What about these two horse tire swings. Wish the grands had been with us ~ we are sure they would have had fun! |
 |
| One of their chickens. |
 |
| The winery up behind the fruitstand. |
 |
| Ron checking out the maze. |
 |
| Isn’t he the handsome one? Love how his beard is growing back. He will definitely be Santa material by December. |
 |
| The Egg Factory |
 |
| I really wanted a picture of the pig but Ron said I had to be in there too! |
 |
| Ron checking out the tractor. |
 |
| “Don’t I look cute? I want one, no I need one!” |
 |
| A chicken but not sure what type. |
 |
| Aren’t these the handsome ones? |
 |
| Chickens doing their job. Look at all the boxes for laying eggs. |
 |
| A pumpkin shooter. Bet they go far! |
 |
| Ron getting ready to try his hand at lasooing. |
Here is Ron doing his cowboy thing!
 |
| This is for Christopher! |
 |
| White pumpkins, orange pumpkins and the ghosts watching over them. |
 |
| Some more scarecrows on duty. |
 |
| This is who greets you when you first arrive at Smallwoods. |
 |
| Pretty good use of old pieces of machinery. |
 |
| Heading into the fruitstand itself. |
 |
| Thought these were interesting ~ don’t know if they are edible or not. |
 |
| Gateway to the petting zoo. We did not go inside, cost $1 and thought we have seen baby animals before. Now if the grands were with us that would have been another story. |
 |
| Giant sunflowers minus the seeds. |
 |
| This guy tells a story, but alas I could not get the video to transfer over. |
 |
| This is a Turban Squash. The guy there said they are edible so we bought one. Now to find a recipe and cook the darn thing. |
 |
| A neat looking farm on the way to the campground. |
 |
| An old barn. |
 |
| Ron checking in at the ranger station at Leavenworth TT. |
 |
| Getting directions to where the best site was to set up the satellite dish. We parked where he told us and we had TV in less than 10 minutes! |
 |
| The view out the side door of the motor home. |
 |
| The only other people camping in the park and they are right out our front window. |
 |
| The view to the left of us. |
 |
| The sign to Mt. Springs Lodge |
 |
| One of the many lodges at Mt. Spring. |
 |
| Look who’s greeting you when you go in the door. |
 |
| Saw this sign on the way into Leavenworth. Almost stopped to see if she was a nice Granny or not. But Ron said no. |
 |
| Mural at entrance to Icicle Inn |
 |
| Ron enjoying a mug of brew at Icicle Inn. We stopped there for appetizers. |
 |
| The murals in the dining room/lounge. |
 |
| Us! |
 |
| Us again…we keep trying to get a good shot of us together. Next time I guess we had better ask the waitress/waiter to help us out. |
 |
| Appetizers: cheese and crackers with a brew for Ron and a glass of Reisling for Alice. |
 |
| Mural in the dining room/lounge. |
 |
| Close up of murals. |
 |
| Heading into the town square. |
 |
| Raspberry turnover = scrumptious. Pretzel = not so good. |
Hope you enjoyed traveling with us today. We had a good time but are starting to get anxious about being home in Whatcom County.
See you all again soon.
