unfortunately on tuesday morning we were greeted with a solid day of rain which accumulated to about an inch as the cup on hood indicates. around noon we finally got out of bad, packed up our wet tent, and headed home with our tail between our legs. this part of country only gets about 5 inches of rain annually so it looks like we got about a 5th of the rainfall in one of the few days we camped there.

in our trips to tonasket we have noticed all of these satellite dishes. we were trying to figure out if this is some sort of observatory or just a guy who wants all of the channels.
