Brits ‘n’ bathyspheres

No sooner do we bid farewell to Emma and family than it’s time to welcome our next visitors. First up are Scott – a journo pal of mine – and his friend James on the first leg of their great American West Coast roadtrip. I shudder to think what this Mustang saw by the time they reached Tijuana.

P1050055

They overlapped one night with the arrival of Alex, Aimme and Joe from Nottingham. Great to see my old best mate again, and having such a great time with his family!

P1050077

We did a quick trip around Fremont/Wallingford, and caught a baseball, then headed out on our own Western road trip. First stop: Snow Lake at the top of the pass.

P1050099

A hot, sweaty and tough hike up – but what a payoff…

P1050126

We went right over the pass and camped for the night in a charming Forest Service cabin.

P1050150

Salmon and potatoes roasted on the fire, marshmallows and, oh yes, just a little Rainier beer.
