Sackman's Sack Attack: Stehekin

This past weekend we were lucky enough to travel to Stehekin for a very special memorial for Bob Lehman. My family has been friends with the Lehman's for most of my life...Bob and his wife Shari have known me since I was really little..and really bratty! They've seen me move from Redmond to Omak, graduate from HS, college, get married, have kids, and "grow up!" Bob passed away last Spring and they waited until his 70th birthday (Aug. 13th) to hold a truly special celebration of his life. They've owned a cabin in Stehekin for many years and it was the perfect place to remember him and spend time with a lot of really good friends.

If you haven't been to Stehekin (or maybe haven't even heard of it) GOOGLE IT! It's amazing! Even with our gaggle of children, cousins, and friends kids, it is still the most relaxing place on earth. Super Zen! No phones...yeah, that's right...no CELL PHONES! I turned mine off when we got on the boat heading up lake and didn't touch it again until Sunday afternoon. Felt soooo good! All the kids played outside all weekend and we enjoyed a lot of catching up and enjoying the breathtaking scenery.

Stehekin sits at the very head of Lake Chelan...brrrr, the waters is icy cold!

Beautiful!
