Today we took a drive to explore the Middle Fork (of the Nooksack river) road. The picture above is as far as we walked from the closed gate just at the bridge over the river. For those of you that climb the Twin Sisters peaks this road is the closest you can get to begin your climb. Several years ago the road that had the closest approach was gated. To see the pictures larger, just click on them.

The clouds were too thick to really see the Twin Sisters, if you click on the picture to enlarge it, just above the saddle on the ridge in the middle of the picture there is a slight dark area - that is as much of the Twin Sisters as we could see today. Some day we'll go back on a sunny day and get a picture from that very spot and I'll insert it into this post.
The views were so pretty even though it was a fairly dark day. I love this picture I took of the contrasts in colors and textures of the forest -
Our happy dog "Lexis" found some water!

Here are a couple pictures from the bridge where we began our walk, after driving about 5 miles up the gravel road.

Part way up the road to the bridge is the Bellingham City dam turn off.
Looks like it gets pretty soggy here doesn't it :-)
