Selected Tales
from the Waste family travels for Bechtel Corporation
Mount Vernon, Washington
1957-1958
Family outing at
Mount Shuksan in the North Cascades
Mount Vernon was practically at the
base of the North Cascades, where the Skagit River Valley reaches
the sea. We could jump in the car and visit places like
beautiful Mt. Shuksan fairly easily.
There are few places in the world that
look as much like an artist's painting as this small lake below
Mt. Shuksan.

My Dad was wearing cowboy boots.
This is the house we lived in. There
was something special in our backyard that my Dad built for us:
The Fort
