Rattlesnake Ledge

There are no rattlesnakes here. Just off I-90 East of North Bend, this City of Seattle Public Utility Property is so named for the grassland meadow that was once here. The early settlers heard the grass shake in the wind and they likened this bit of botany to the slithering serpant.

Alas, no rattlesnakes here. But on Mother's Day, every one and their mother and cousin was there. Really. And plenty of dogs.

Janice and I got a late start and headed into the hills for a little hike. Up the 2 miles and change, we actually managed to find a higher ledge lookout and some piece and quiet for our late lunch. This view shows part of the Snoqualimie Valley and the destination point for the hords of other hikers.

Get out there. Posted by Picasa
