My wife and I found ourselves with some unexpected time off right after the mid-term elections. Needing a pick-me-up we decided to get out of town for a little recharge.
So on November 10th, just a couple of days before the North Cascades Highway (Hwy. 20) closed for the winter we traveled across the mountain pass to spend three days in Winthrop.
Always in awe of nature and very concerned about the affect humans are having on our climate I want to share a little of our journey and give thanks for the wondrous beauty that still surrounds us.
Today is not a day to mention all the negative things happening in our world. It is a day to give thanks for it's beauty and all it provides us every day.
Go below the orange hairpiece for a brief glimpse and Happy Thanksgiving everybody!
All videos and pictures taken by me.
Crossing the pass this is the beauty we witnessed:
And this is where we stayed.
And this is one of many we saw!

The Climate Action Hub
Building upon the momentum generated by the People's Climate March, The Climate Action Hub focuses the energy and ideas that converged around the 2014 UN Climate Summit to engage civil participation in local, regional and global climate action. The Hub showcases NGOs, eco writers, scientists, bloggers and YOU in a group mission to amplify messaging and promote action on such issues as climate justice, sustainable development and clean energy. It will also serve as a forum for educating and informing the wider public and expand the civil movement to ensure success at the 2015 UNFCCC Paris Climate Summit. Please add any information on climate actions in comments below.
The Climate Action Hub at Daily Kos seeks volunteer ambassadors of climate activism to work on our 'eco swat team' in local communities and here at Daily Kos to disseminate information about the growing role of civil society in climate solutions. Join us here at Daily Kos to contribute your skills and experience. We need all hands on deck!
