Fathers Day...Well, maybe just a sunny weekend.

I woke up this morning with one real plan in mind, to go grocery shopping. However, Autumn and I decided to go to a lake. We originally thought Baker Lake at Mount Baker, but went a little further.

The day or so before my truck caught fire, I was making a plan to go on Father’s day up to the mountains and take a drive. Well, I did that drive today. I took a bunch of photos, and got home from shopping at about 1:30 in the morning.

I ended up at Ross Lake, and then came back. I took a few trips off the road for some sightseeing. Listened to a lot of music, and spent time with my daughter.
First thing this morning I tried to trim my beard. When Steph moved she took the hair cutter, and I needed to get a beard trimmer to clip my beard. I hate shaving, but hate having my beard long more. Anyhow, I thought I had it set right, and went right up the middle of my chin…. Woops, apparently set wrong. I had to shave my beard all the way off because I wasn’t paying attention. Oh well, it looks good.

Spending the weekend with Autumn has reminded me on how much I miss my other kids. I would do almost anything to have the rest of them with me, but unfortunately that is out of my control, and I will have to make do with the time I have when I get it.

Anyhow, the trip was a lot of fun. First stop was the gas station, and I had to get some caffeine, woops, I mean Gas. I talked autumn into a bear claw for the first time. She liked them I think.. I liked mine, considering I am on a low sugar thing. So, after gassing up, juicing up, and eating up. We left on our journey.
The drive out was very uneventful. But we were kind of hungry. I guess a bear claw wasn’t enough to fill us up. So, on many trips out there I have seen the signs for “World famous Buffalo Burger”

I had a Buffalo burger, Autumn had a Sunday. I must say, world famous may be an exaggeration when it comes to food. But the ambiance was nice.

As I was driving up the road, I decided to start taking some of the side gravel roads to see where they went, after all I was driving a Jeep.  Your suppose to leave the pavement behind.

The first thing we found was some power line roads.  Autumn said that she had a life long dream of touching one of the towers, so who was I to say no.

I then decided to play around and get some more Artistic shots.  Just having fun and all.









She couldn't resist touching the sign.  I cannot bl-aim her, I climbed up to touch it also.  

We could here a river, so we went looking for it.  What person could resist not climbing through a 30 foot culvert.

Well, we found the river.  It was actually a set of watter falls, and was allot of fun to walk out to and explore.

I was playing with the settings on my camera, and forgot to turn the light meter back down.  So the next group are rather bright, but fun none the less.

and then it was horrible, Autumn got hit by the train....

The rest of the trip was just driving, talking, and looking at the scenery.  I took allot of pictures, and here are just a few.  It was a gorgeous trip into one of my favorite areas.
