This Snowy Barrier Is A Familiar Sight Some Winters In Wenatchee

Mark — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 15:12:54 +0000

If you’ve driven through Wenatchee lately you no doubt noticed the long ridge line of snow going down the middle of the road. The snow has got to go somewhere, right? While some cities plow to the side and then leave it up to local residents and businesses to decide how to get rid of the fluffy white stuff, Wenatchee has a tradition of crafting a frozen barrier between lanes instead. It can make making a left turn a little tough and can also make for some fun to watch driving strategies be put on display too.

Okay, have you seen the new Leavenworth hip hop video? This is a travel video recently made that gives a completely different spin on Leavenworth. What a great idea and big time congratulations for pulling off an excellent music video that is funny and informative!

We all know Leavenworth is a fun place to visit because of all that it has to offer: outdoor recreation, great food, beautiful scenery, a fun atmosphere, and some of the best shopping around. But this is such a creative way to show off this fabulous destination!

“Have some fun in the sun with the Bavarians” – Awesome!

“Shout outs to the center of the state!” – Too funny!

“Watch the beats fall like autumn leaves right outta the sky” – Great!

“Kris Kringle got the jingle and Woody got the rhyme.” – Again, too funny!

“He’s cool like kielbasa… and juicy like a brawt!” – Nicely done!

A tip of the hat from me… great job Leavenworth.org!

A little less than a month ago, Wenatchee was home to A Bridge To A Cure, a fundraiser for breast cancer. This project looked for the donation of 1,000 decorated bras that would then be strung across the Riverwalk Bridge that connects Downtown Wenatchee with the Wenatchee Riverfront Railway area of the loop trail and riverfront park system.

To read more about this fundraiser, here is a story about it from the Wenatchee World back in September.

Here is a video showing some of the great artwork done by those that participated in this event.

Banks Lake was formed by the building of Dry Falls Dam in the south and then pumping water up the hill from Grand Coulee Dam and filling up the northern section of Moses Coulee. Here is a nice video showing some boating, swimming, and yes… even cliff jumping on Banks Lake.

Video: Scenes From Old Blewett Highway

Mark — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 14:50:03 +0000

From a recent trip across Old Blewett Highway. This is a great little diversion to take if you have the time while crossing Blewett Pass. It goes over the mountains at a higher altitude and offers some amazing views of the surrounding forest. The entire trip is about 11 miles or so, but the going is a lot slower than down on the new highway.
