we had a wonderful time in Leavenworth Washington at the winter festival / winter gathering. I did a trip report on my blog and I hope you enjoy it.blog link

TC Life,Great blog.I've got it figured out though, you have some kind of time machine. We have no kids at home and still don't get out enough. I wish we did.I figured it out because of the December 9 date on your blog post.In any case, we're afraid of snow down here. When it snows, we peep out the window but never open the door.I guess we should brave up and enjoy.

Thanks again for the updated TR. Great post on your Blog. Looked like a great time by all.Scott

Nice to see Leavenworth in the winter, we have been to Wenatchee the last two years but in May, would love to see Leavenworth in the winter. A few Arctic Foxes camped with you!

Thanks for the trip report.On New Years eve they have a fireworks display over the lake near town.

I dragged the wagon master down to slower speeds on this past Falls Colors tour. The current organizer is stepping down and they are looking for someone else to organize the 2014 trip.

We were reliving the 80's last week. Not the era, but the temperatures in Central America. I hope to hit Stevens Pass for skiing on 12/20 if anyone wants a taste of snow.

Were headed up this weekend for the tree lighting.We go every year the last weekend before Christmas.This will be our first year with our daughter Brecklyn who is 10mos old now.We didn't attend the fall colors run this year since she was to young still.The last few times weve attended it weve loved it,however it tends to be a bit on the fast pace for us.I feel like were racing through some of the most beutifull land in the country at times during the run.At times I was well over 70 to stay with the pack.

We didn’t make it over this year! Just moved into a new home and are a bit cramped for time getting settled. We have stayed at that KOA and in that very spot many times.

Thank you for sharing. It looks like you had a great time.

Ah, Leavenworth. Brings back great memories. The wife and I went on our honeymoon there back in '86. Thanks, Rich, for sharing.

What, no geocaching this time?

we did a geocache but only one per day on the trip. during the winter its harder to get to some. there was one in the campground near the river but snow had covered it up. there are several right in town too but with big crowds its hard to go unnoticed while getting to them.

in fact, im on a small cache found streak...33 days in a row with another to be found today.

What a wonderful trip report. Leavenworth sure looked pretty all lit up and it looks like everyone had a great time.

Nice trip report and pictures. Looks like there's multiple TC owners from Spokane here. (I'm one of them, but my AF811 is in "hibernation" for the winter)

Really interesting trip pictures. I noticed the sun sets in Spokane before 4PM in the winter, that makes for a long night inside the camper.

lol...games, tv, music keep you occupied. we are early risers so asleep by 900 is not unheard of when nothing is going on, but we are up at 5 am. of course its still dark out then too. it doesn't get light out until 7-730 am. the only thing I really hate about winter...lack of light. then again im happy we don't live near the poles when its dark all the time for periods of the year.
