Photos Of Conconully State Park Added To NCW State Parks Gallery
Conconully State Park is located in Okanogan County, right on the shores of Conconully Lake and inside the city limits of Conconully.
This is a beautiful state park with plenty of access to the water, climbing toys for the kids, campsites for tent as well as RV camping and lots of green grass to walk on, lay on, and play on. Downtown Conconully is just footsteps away too and there are fun restaurants, bars, and stores there. Anyone who enjoys the great outdoors will love spending sometime at Conconully State Park.

Photos Of Mud Slide On 97A Between Wenatchee And Chelan
Early Wednesday morning, water build up from an earlier summer rainstorm came rushing down a small canyon just south of Entiat. It pushed mud, rocks, trees, and other debris out over the highway, across the railroad tracks, and out into the Columbia River. The highway remained closed the entire day and still no opening is planned as the Department of Transportation will be reassessing it in the morning.

There were other mud slides further north on 97A, but those were cleaned up rather quickly and though the highway remained closed from Chelan south, local traffic was allowed through down as far as Entiat.
More photos from the mud slide on 97A just north of Turtle Rock Estates:

Photos of the Nahahum Canyon Fire
Sirens rang out Friday afternoon as various parts of North Central Washington caught fire thanks to lightning strikes. Nahahum Canyon, located outside of Cashmere just west of Wenatchee, was one of the most visible ones in the area. Here are a few photos. We hope to add more soon.

Photos of Conconully Lake Added To NCW Lakes Gallery
We’ve recently added some photos of Conconully Lake to the gallery of the Lakes of North Central Washington.
Conconully Lake is a small reservoir impounded by the Conconully Dam and fed by Salmon Creek. It sits right at the community of Conconully in Okanogan County. It is located about 20-30 minutes west of the town of Omak. The water is cold and crisp, the scenery is beautiful, and the fishing is very good. This is a great area of North Central Washington to visit for outdoor recreation or just to relax.

Wenatchee’s 2010 Fireworks Show
A great fireworks show was put on during the 4th of July festivities in Wenatchee this year. The photo above is taken from the pathway on the Odabashian Bridge on the north end of town, looking back towards Walla Walla Park where the fireworks are launched.
This was a somewhat unique place to watch the show from. It was virtually deserted and though it was a bit farther away, the reflection on the water all the way up the river gave it a nice feel.
Where did you view the fireworks from?

Check Out The Cider Mill In Cashmere!
We made a recent trip up to the Cider Mill in Cashmere and what a great place to stop in North Central Washington!
The building is set right on the banks of Mission Creek and can be reached by heading through Cashmere and up Mission Creek Road. Cashmere is a very cool little town to visit and the Cider Mill is one more reason to pull off of Highway 2 when you’re passing through the area.
The facility specializes in a whole host of tasty concoctions, all based on their delicious apple cider. There are syrups, jams, jellies, and more that are all great to sample, and available for purchase too. There is even an apple butter milkshake that is unbelieveable!
The specialty is of course the apple cider though. The tasting room / gift shop is attractive and inviting. Shortly after entering, we were given the opportunity to have a tasting of several of the different flavors of cider that are all made right there at the facility. There are a number of different great flavors ranging from the tart to the sweet, and each having its own unique tastes and qualities. Some of the available flavors include Cherry, Old World Spice, Raspberry, Huckleberry, and Peach among others. They all taste awesome, we left with a bottle of Huckleberry and it didn’t last long once we got home.
Outside, there is a decent sized grass area, some picnic tables, an outdoor seating area, and a small art gallery. This makes a good location for a short break from a long car ride or just a chance to relax in the shade next to the comforting sounds of Mission Creek flowing by.
There is also a small stage outside and we were there in time to hear the award winning blues music of the power duo, RavinWolf. It was a very intimate experience and we thought it so good that we had to buy a CD on our way out. What a great place to sit and relax while listening to some good live music. If you are looking for something to do and you haven’t been there yet, check out the Cider Mill, it comes highly recommended.

A Deer Along The Road Just Outside Conconully
This young deer was standing right along the road when we visited Conconully a couple of weeks ago. He was wary, but he was afraid of us and he let us watch him munch away on the tall grass for quite sometime.
Conconully is extremely beautiful and very friendly. It is a wonderful place to visit for a day, weekend, long weekend, or even longer.
