SAWMILL FLAT

We didn't camp during 2020. (Thank you, COVID!)

We didn't see most of our family in person during 2020. (Thank you, COVID!)

So we decided to go camping. And then some family was added. Then a bit more family was added. (Take that, COVID!) So we made up for what we missed in 2020.

We ended up at Sawmill Flat Campground, on the Naches River, near Naches, Washington.

No internet connection. No social media. No news. I didn't even bring a book with me. It was a simple weekend of eating and conversation and sitting around and sleeping in a tent and eating and campfire and herding and/or holding dogs and hiking and eating.

And while Western Washington was inundated with rain, we saw a bit of drizzle, but even that didn't bother us because our campsites were beneath canopies of Douglas fir and Ponderosa pine.

It was nice to break routine. Then it was good to reestablish it again. That shower after three days of dirt and sweat and campfire smoke and sleeping alongside stinky dogs was amazing!
