    Nice, I loved the drive through Leavenworth and the Cascades along 2 when Deb and I went through in 2018

    A few weeks ago Mrs. OrthmannJ and I went to the Seattle area for some Doctor appointments. I snapped a few photos of the Freestyle along the way.

    Nothing to spectacular, but it was my chariot of exploration one evening as I found an awesome tiny public beach on the eastern shore of Lake Washington.

    We did get a pretty great view from the lookout on Manashtash Ridge on our way home.

    We were back in Seattle last week for two more appointments. During Mrs. OrthmannJ’s MRI I had some time to burn, so I went exploring.


    I visited one of the local spots we have frequented in the past. The Gasworks Park. Since the last time we visited in 2021 (see post #79 on page 6) they have cut down a large number of trees so you can see the old gasworks from the parking lot.

    You can even see the Space Needle in this one

    You may also remember post #66 on page five where I came across Hardwick's Hardware store which was closing after 88 years.

    I'm happy to report that the building is still standing. But sadly it is in not being preserved. I fully expected it to be gone.
