I just checked ours it is something like Ottaway Papers, never even heard
of
them before.

Yosemite is just about an hour and a half to two hour drive from my house
depending on weather and traffic. Of course the beach is about that far
away too.

Oh, sorry, I did misread your message. I do on rare occasions
snowshoe. I prefer the downhill speed of crossing country skiing and
frankly, with climbing skins (they have a directional nap like cat fur
and attach to the bottom of the skis with a rubber-type cement) can go
pretty much anywhere snowshoers go. Seattle-Times - (I think
partially knight ridder??? but majority locally owned)

Still have no read that section but it is set aside - Yosemite was
what created my long and enduring love affair ..... - with the Sierra

Funny, our local paper had Yosemite in its travel section, too. I
don't know if snowboarding was mentioned as I did not yet read the
section. Plodding sounds about right and I've never snowboarded. I
use to downhill ski but now only x-country and telemark (one side
only! (sigh))

Rub it in!!!! (G) It is a good day and a half from here and pretty
tedious - I've now done it the last two years.

The article here is by a local reporter: Carol Pucci but I know travel
writer's articles are sometimes shared. Still did not read it. Puget
sound is about 20 minutes by bicycle but the ocean is an involved trip
to the coast. The Cascades are about an hour away east by car to the
crest, closer for some hikes further for others.

Well the beaches here are not great very rocky and too cold too. But
sitting along the Merced River in Yosemite is a nice past time in the spring
and early summer before the crowds start.

I have family that lives in Seattle and also in Wenatchee. I love the
Eastern Cascades, if there was work up there that would pay me what I make
here, I would move there in a heartbeat, but the only place I could make
what I would do would be to live West of the Cascades and then it is too
rainy for me there.

It is rainy here - no doubt - got caught in a brief squall while
walking yesterday afternoon and a similar one led to a major,
multivehicle accident down the by airport yesterday and also last
week!

A friend lives on the east side but up in Winthrop. Too hot in summer
and pretty darn cold in winter. Generally clear predicted for the
next five days on the Wet side. Biking today and skiing tomorrow is
the plan.
