1/1/2017 New Years Mt. Baker Washington


HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017 is spent on the Canadian boarder about 2 hours northeast of Seattle in Baker Mountain Ski area where we celebrated New Years Eve and spent the week snow shoeing, cross country and downhill skiing and snowboarding.  Couldn't get the ski boot to fit comfortably around the injury on John's leg so he stuck to cross country skiing.  It was great to have Gabe join us for a few days where the snow conditions were excellent and the cabin was a skiers delight.

Nooksack River, Demming Washington
Gabe and Zoe took us down the road to the Nooksack River near Deming where we did wildlife tracking and witnessed one of the largest annual eagle migrations in the lower 48 states.  We saw about 80 of them on the drive from Seattle and dozens the day we stopped near the end of the salmon run, watching as they feast on the the migrating salmon who are dying after spawning.
