We Went The Other Direction on Black F'lineday!

         On the way out of town yesterday morning, we stopped for espresso first thing as all proper PNW women must do, As usual the girl in the booth asked us if we had any Black Friday plans. I said, "Nothing special," and I smiled at her.

        I had smiled, more than usual, because I was seriously considering telling her that we were going Squatching. I'm pretty sure she would have known what that was, but I just thought about it.

        It is much more our style to not go shopping! Instead, taking advantage of a day with mostly sunshine, we went out to take a look around.

Driving the bridge to Marysville. RB

A brief revisit to Tulalip Bay. RB

The old place, minus the house.

Distressed barn!

Skagit Valley, Mt. Baker on the horizon. RB

Twin Sisters, subrange of the Cascades. RB

There's Mt Baker again. We seemed to be circling it!

        And yet, sigh, the Hairy Man remained obscure in his secret lair, in spite of our efforts.
