Paler Mill, Packwood

Paler Mill  on the way into Packwood from Randell.
I love it here. The wildlife, the mountain and  the cherry on top is a little bit of abandonment and disrepair.
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the elk trail  cabin which was most welcoming indeed.
Marmots amused inside the park and snakes birds and bats outside.

Aurora Motel at 42nd, Seattle

 At 42nd street on Aurora sits this lovely motel, indicative of the area.
I am ashamed for having missed the tear down of the Thunderbird inn that was pretty close to this place.
Equally I am sad I didnt get to this one before the big assfence went up that blocked me from getting any decent photographs.
Aurora is a vast expanse of oddness.
