“I Can See For Miles And Miles And Miles!”🤗
“Look honey, Is that Phoenix way down below hiking in the valley?”😇
Our furry “Grand-Dog” is enjoying one last hike with our son and his Family!🤗
“Mom….Dad……Phoenix and I are hoping to arrive at your place early tomorrow morning!”😍
Everyone is excited that Phoenix will be vacationing with us for two weeks!🤗
With the “Fire Danger” sitting at “HIGH”, I am glad that our son and his family had a nice safe hike!😇
You can see in the first photo one of the Fire lookouts on the Eastern side of Washington State.
“Liz that must have been a tough climb for Phoenix, she has such short legs!”🙄
Wait………..I see “Smokey the Bear”, and he’s carrying Phoenix up the hill to the Fire Lookout Tower! Isn’t that nice of Smokey!”😇
Chat GPT tell me about Smokey the Bear!😊
“Silvertop………Smokey Bear is one of the most recognizable public service mascots in American history. He was created in 1944 as part of a wildfire prevention campaign during World War II. At the time, there were concerns that forest fires could threaten valuable timber needed for the war effort.
One interesting fact is that his official name is Smokey Bear, not “Smokey the Bear.” The phrase “the” became so common in everyday speech that many people still use it, but the official name has always been Smokey Bear.
The slogan most people remember is:
“Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires.”
Even over on the Western side of the Cascades we have the potential for wildfires!
Several “Old Growth” Western Red Cedar trees, on trails that Silvertop regularly hike, are charred black from lightning strikes, long in the past!😳
Thankfully Lightning isn’t very common on the Western side of the Mountain!😇
The volcano you can see in the third photo is Mt Baker, rising to a lofty elevation of 10,781 feet!
Baker is only a short drive from where we live!😊
This gives you an idea just how far Bill and his family actually live from us!🙄
You can tell from the photos of Cyle and Cot, that they are extremely excited that Phoe will be arriving tomorrow morning Lol!😻
“Liz we need to remember to pick up the “Boys” Cat feeder, or Phoenix will devour everything in the feeder within minutes Lol!”🤣
“How about it Boys …… one last hike with Dad, before your cousin Phoenix arrives?”☺️
Boys………………..🤔
“OK……. You guys sleep, uhh….. watch the house, Dad will be back soon!”😇
Exciting times ahead my friends, till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
