Chelan to Stehekin and back again

Cruisin' Lake Chelan on the Lady of the Lake II

It takes about 4 hours to go uplake on the Lady ~ she's a slow boat

Lake Chelan is a 55 mile long boater's paradise

No cellphones, no telephones, no internet ~
just smoke signals for communication (or snail mail)

Just a couple of miles up the road from the landing you will find;
Rainbow Falls...

...the world's Largest Picnic Table...

...a one-room schoolhouse...

...and the Shuttle bus that will take you anywhere you'd like.
(there are very few roads here, tho)

There's a famous bakery here you won't want to miss...

This is the end (of the lake).
Stehekin is beautiful and very remote

Who needs phones when you've got ICE CREAM ?

What's quicker than a boat ride back? A Beaver?

Yup! And looks like Dad will be flying Co-pilot this leg ~
