Lewis and Clark State Forest

Nestled in the Lewis and Clark State Forest is the McChord/Lewis joint AFB. As we drive into this area we question where we are. It looks like fall on the East Coast and we are struck by its beauty. We have heard that American Lake is on this base and the military has constructed a few log cabins for use by both retirees and active duty families. We have decided that this will be our home for a few days.

 It is lovely and our cabin faces the lakes. It is a studio cabin and everything we need is within reach and yet, we have space to sit and read, watch movies, play games, or just sit on our front porch and look at the stars and moon. We have decided to really give our hiking boots a workout this morning so we will set off after coffee and a bite to eat. We were able to walk another eight miles along the lake today.

There was a nip in the air and the sun was warm and together it made for the perfect day to trek.

We found a place where we could get Turkish food and had a lovely dinner. We have decided to stay a few more days…we may dine tomorrow in Seattle…or maybe not. We will let you know.
