It was a beautiful fall day to drive over Stevens Pass in the Cascade Mountains for a relaxing Lake Wenatchee cabin visit and to go to Leavenworth Oktoberfest.
The wood stock when we first got to the cabin
Sunday morning we went for a walk down to the trail along the shore of Lake Wenatchee.

We made one more stop at 59er Diner before heading home. Gotta help keep their yearly milkshake count.
I love the Adirondack
chairs around the firepit.
The outhouse
How many
engineers does it take to start a chainsaw?
Chain-sawing
time
Time to refuel
This wagon came
in very handy transporting cut wood logs back to the shed. It just needed a
little more air put in the tires.
Woodsy close-ups
And now the
manly man portion of the show, chopping the larger logs into quarters with the
axe.
Joe got it on the first try!

Men will be men.

All in a hard
day’s work.
We went over to
Leavenworth to go to Oktoberfest.
We had a few
beers. Jackie caught up with a childhood Wisconsin
friend Tracy after 20 years apart. Her fiancé and 2 friends also from West
Bend, WI were great company.

After the short walk along the shore, we finished up stocking the wood.
We had another great stay at the Haney cabin on Lake Wenatchee!
Before heading
home, we went to hike the Hidden Lake Trail which we had tried to find in
snowshoes in March. It was much easier to find the trailhead today in October.
Some trees were still
down in the lake
