Jayna and I took our first expedition in the great northwest territory for which we pioneered. The area we decided to first visit is the Roslyn area, an area 30 minutes northwest of Ellensburg. The town of Roslyn (founded in 1886 as a coal mining town) is where the TV Series Northern Exposure was filmed. As the pictures show, many of the original buildings from the old mining town still exist and are in current today.
About fifteen minutes past Roslyn is Cle Elum Lake. Because the lake is in the middle of a drought season, we were able to take pictures of and sit on a beach covered with old tree stumps that are normally under 20 to 30 feet of water. Also, we were lucky enough to arrive at the lake an hour before sunset so we took a picture of this lake's beautiful sunset.

WOW! That looks like a fun adventure! I thought Northern Exposure was filmed in Alaska...boy, they really pulled a fast one on me.
Has Mike started his classes yet?
