Hey everybody, tomorrow is the big day! 🎉🥳 For those who are going here’s some pertinent information:

Weather update looks SWEET. 🤩
It’s going to be sunny and 65-70 degrees 🌞. Air is clear and mild 🌤☀️. No fires this year because they are not lighting any, so it should be perfect conditions for us.

This weekend is the annual Maple Falls Sasquatch Festival, so give yourself some time to check it out if you want to. Great place to grab a memory and a Sasquatch T. It’s in downtown Maple Falls on 542 at Silver Lake Road intersection as you are making your way east up to Artist Point. They often have a hot rod show with some nice rides to check out, but I don’t know if they will be there this year. Since 2020, sometimes the guys show up and sometimes they don’t, but when they do, wow their cars are sweet.

When you make it to Artist Point parking lot, I will have a balloon assortment above my head so you can find me. The assortment of balloons are red, yellow, and green, with a large number “9” in silver chrome color. You can’t miss it. I’ll be in the parking lot at Artist Point at 3pm pacific time. It could be 2 people that show up if could be 20. I’ve no idea. Just looking forward to checking out the sights and having a good time with whoever decides to make the treck.

It’s usually really quiet and slow up there at Artist Point with very few people, but the Sasquatch Festival usually brings in some extra folks and it’s a Saturday. I don’t know exactly what to expect with the festival this weekend, but it’s a nice time to hang out and have some good conversations if that’s your thing. Really nice folks at the festival and there’s always hand made stuff that’s interesting to check out. All that said, make sure you purchase the $5 parking pass at Crossroads Grocery on your way up. Crossroads Grocery is at the intersection of Silver Lake Road and highway 542.

Finally, BE WARNED! The restrooms at the top of Artist Point are GHASTLY. Gag level atrocious. They have always been that way. I don’t know why they don’t fix them but wow, an experience to forget, but you never will. Lol. It’s off season so the lodges are all closed till winter. For guys this may not be a big deal, but for the ladies it’s another game entirely. May I suggest limiting your liquid intake, use a restroom on your way up 542. They have public restroom facilities at Maple Fuels gas station right where the Sasquatch festival —highway 542 and Silver Lake Road. I suggest a pit stop as your options on the top of the mountain are not very palatable. I usually stop drinking water 2 hours before departure and then wait until I’m on top of the mountain to take a gulp or two to stay hydrated. It’s not hot, it will be in the 60’s, so that also helps. Just really watch your liquid intake and pace yourself.

See you tomorrow at 3! Look for the silver 9, with red, yellow, and green balloons.

I will be there in Spirit. Thanks for the descriptive write up. I can almost smell the air and the trees 🌲 🌳 😇 and I can see Sassie, peaking out from behind one, smiling, sending magical, Sassie vibes, as we trek up the mountain. My imagination will suffice for now 😂 Hope you have a wonderful day Chuck .May the NINES be with you! 🤟🏻😎

Hi Chuck, I hope you see this message and let you know I almost made it there (coming from Vancouver, and first time ever entering the States) but I reached Maple Falls area awfully late and my phone died on me, that I decided to go back… I regret it, and I truly hope we get another opportunity to meet again! Sending you lots of love ❤
