Sleeping Lady Mountain dreams

Sleeping Lady Mountain as seen from Leavenworth, Washington

Notice that the forest has burned.  It was a big fire a few years ago that burned a beautiful forest including an area where I often visited to photograph lupine and Balsamroot flowers among the Ponderosa Pine.  During the Reagan Administration, a lot of prime National Forest land was sold into private ownership including the banks of the wildly beautiful wild and scenic Icicle River before it could be designated and protected as a National Wild and Scenic River.  Cabins were built among the giantic boulders along the shore and bridges to cabins on the other side of the river, and signs that said NO TRESSPASSING populated the once beautiful drive.  When the forest burned, all the cabins went away to be replaced by bigger cabins and now fences were added with NO TRESSPASSING signs. 

Peace
