The Trip I Missed

Once in September and again in October of 2008, I drove two hours north, then headed east for an hour, following the road through Mt. Baker - Snoqualmie National Forest to its end at a place called Artist's Point.

I had intended to go this year, but the first date that I chose didn't pan out because of a raging storm. The following weekend I had already planned a trip south to Portland and the Oregon Coast, and by the first weekend in October, snow had closed the road for the season.
