We had to leave the beach today…
but when we got to the highway it was (as Doug would say) “a parking lot.” As we inched north we decided to take the “secret” shortcut…(I trust you not to tell anyone),
(YAY…it was raining!)
and head up Schooner Creek…
When we got the beach house years ago our friend Don told us about the Schooner Creek road…his grandma had a house in Cutler City and they often used the “secret” route. Maybe twice a summer season we use it, and today was the day…
The road follows the lovely Schooner Creek about thirteen beautiful miles on a gravel road…(you can see my quilt reflected in the window lest you think I was just riding and not working…) eventually rejoining the highway at Rose Lodge.
this is a clear cut replanted in 2006…
and this one needs a little work…
There isn’t much around out there…
but eventually we made it home to water the limelights
have dinner on the deck…
and enjoy the white flowers in the dusky garden, coming on alarmingly early but beautiful nonetheless…
On The Way 
oh bonnie, mum is the word. btw, do not check weather on your iphone or you two will be wishing you had not left the beach.
