Today we made a trip back to Wenatchee to get mail and check on our house, so we made a quick stop at Deception Falls. It is a small roadside picnic/rest area(with outhouses–yuck!!) just off highway 2, about halfway between Skykomish and Stevens Pass Ski Area. We have driven that road many times, but have never stopped there before. The highway actually goes over the falls, so it is a very short walk down the path to see it. There are other trails leading down to the river and beyond, but we did not take any of those–we weren’t really dressed for a hike. We got to use my new camera to take the pictures:) You can click the above picture to go to the photo gallery to see the rest of the pictures we took.

We then continued on to Wenatchee to check the house–we pulled some weeds, reset the sprinkler system, and picked up a few things we thought we might need. We picked up a bunch of mail Kevin’s Mom has been collecting for us, had some lunch at Applebee’s, made a quick stop at JCPenny’s, then headed home. Normally the trip takes about 2 1/2 hours, but since it was a Sunday evening in July, it took us a whole hour longer. The traffic was stop-and-go for MILES. I guess we will know better next time…
