Labor Day picnic at Lake Kachess

Markus and Evelyn invited us to join them for an afternoon picnic by Lake Kachess where they will camp for the night.  It is about a 40 min drive from our place right over the cascade mountains.  The weather held up and we enjoyed a nice, low-key get together by the fire._DSC7284 _DSC7289  _DSC7292 _DSC7295  _DSC7319
