Before leaving Hingham I finally was able to get a picture of this sign. Massachusetts has one for each of their towns and it's such a kick to drive from one town to another and see this sign with date of settlement started. Hard to get pictures because you don't know where the town line begins and there is no place to pull over for a quick stop and picture. It's a bummer. On this one I was lucky enough after a month to be driving towards sign and 1st at stoplight with camera next to me. ha! All these towns are so historic and have some wonderful history.

Took advantage of nice sunny day and went to visit the cute little town of Leavenworth. It was so pretty driving over along Hwy 2 with the river and snow capped mountains - beautiful really.

This is Wenatchee river and it is ferocious as these rivers tend to be (just looking at all the downed trees that are washed up the banks of the rivers) - Fun.
