Mt Baker (10,781') averages 659 inches a year and in the winter of 1998-99, the ski area had 1,140 inches of fresh snow, the most ever recorded in a single season in the world. We hit snow on the road in earnest at about 2000' elevation.

Being the shoulder season, we spent our time snowshoeing and later enjoying the pub grub and Seahawks game at www.chair9.com. Of course we snagged a great spot out front. Upon our departure I found a plastic shopping bag on the windshield . . . filled with rolling papers, edibles and several grams of state legal marijuana. Perhaps a Canadian lightening the load for the return trip, a very kind OB'er or both!

Leaving the valley, we made our usual stop at what else, the Wake & Bakery (https://www.getsconed.com/), for the best in delicious oven baked goods, only.

And naturally, the real owners of the Jeep waited patiently for their (more than fair) share!
