On to Leavenworth

Down by the riverside

The trip across the Cascades turned spectacular after crossing Stevens Pass and beginning the descent down the east side.  It was a beautiful ride into Leavenworth, a quaint (and touristy) little Bavarian town near Lake Wenatchee, that successfully recreated itself as such during an economic downturn in the 60's.  It appears to be booming.  I joined 25 other Roadtreks gathering for a rally at Icicle River.  We have a wonderful site right on the river. 

We journeyed up the mountain Friday evening and saw an outdoor production of "The Sound of Music".  Quite honestly, it was spectacular.  It couldn't have been a more beautiful setting, and the production itself was quite well done.  I will never again think of this play without thinking of this wonderful setting.  The next day brought a visit to town, and then to the fish hatchery.  Pretty interesting to see the little salmon fry (fries?).
