view above the cabin…

Unsettled weather to the West was broken up passing over the Cascade Range causing magical cloud formations to stream past.

The Wishing Gate….

‘The Worldling, pining to be freed
From turmoil, who would turn or speed
The current of his fate,
Might stop before this favored scene,
At Nature’s call, nor blush to lean
Upon the Wishing-gate.’

William Wordsworth
