We catch the Lady Express for the two-hour ride to Stehekin. It’s cold outside and we sit inside to stay warm (photo below). The hills are barren with only a little snow, but we do see a courageous mountain goat clinging to a sharp cliff.
Once at Stehekin, we board a small bus for a short ride to Stehekin Falls, 312 feet tall. Like most tall waterfalls, it is very impressive. Makes one feel so tiny.
We grab a great cheeseburger at the local café before catching the Lady Express back to Chelan.
Our goal for tonight is to camp near the Grand Coulee Dam. The dam has created a humongous lake, Lake Roosevelt Recreation Area. Along the shoreline we find Spring Canyon Campground and set up camp. It turns out to be one of our all-time favorite campsites. We overlook the lake and the fee is only $5.00. It blows our minds. ONLY FIVE DOLLARS?!$%@#!!!?? Unbelievable. And it’s only $10 during high season. We decide we should start an app for the iPhone “Our Favorite Campsites”.
We slice some “Jack & Sarah” ham and cook grilled ham and cheese sandwiches for dinner.
