Washington
Now that we've parked our RV in Washington for a couple of years, it's time to admit that this is our home. Like Oregon, Washington has the whole gambit of regions. You'll find beautiful coastal beaches, dense forests of the Olympic Mountains, wooded islands in the Puget Sound, snow covered mountains of the Cascades, high deserts, and mountain forests along its eastern border.
About the photo: Diablo Lake is a reservoir in the North Cascade mountains of northern Washington state, United States. Created by Diablo Dam, the lake is located between Ross Lake and Gorge Lake on the Skagit River at an elevation of 1,201 feet (366 m) above sea level. The unique, intense turquoise hue of the lake's water is attributed to the surrounding glaciers that grind rocks into a fine powder that is carried into the lake through creeks. That fine powder stays suspended in the lake, giving the water its brilliant color.
