When leaving the Newhalem Visitors Ctr, take the 1st road to the right. It’s a gravel road, flood evacuation route. Elevation changes by nearly 1000′ according to my gps. The Newhalem Intake for SCL is up the road, which is also where it dead ends.

“Then drove up to the top of the mtn where the glacial melt feeds the pipe for the power plant downstream.”

good evening Rick, what mountain is this? Did you mean Sauk? I am scratching my head, thinking of which mountain near Newhalem one can *drive up*…

Jan, thx for the response and the encouragement. I pray that I am passed Stages 0 and 1. And clearly, I am not in Stage 4. That probably leaves me only sometimes in Stage 3.

And, I distinctly recall times wondering if changing cam positions will save this crappy image. LOL!!

In my experience there are stages in finding one’s voice. Stage 0 is ’shoot & pray’. Stage 1 is ‘this won’t look good - or - seen that already’. Stage 2 is ‘maybe if I go over here it will look good’. Stage 3 is ‘I have this visual image, let me find a place where this looks good’. And Stage 4 is when all of the results from Stage 3 have a consistent theme that represents you and others can immediately recognize that.
