The Great Greenbelt Adventure

I had three hours to kill on foot in north Lynnwood while my timing belt was being replaced by Volvo. So I arbitrarily chose to walk west from 99 where, as far as I know, I actually haven't been. Ended up at Meadowdale high school.....interesting? Not really, but it surprised me anyway.

As I walked, I stumbled upon a greenbelt, of all things, and it ended up being MUCH bigger than I expected. I was disappointed in that I didn't come across a huge group of airsofters, which would have been a lot more fun than wandering around finding interesting trash and orange leaves, but one musn't dwell on fantasies.....

I found no less than 6 creepy crack-sites like this, all with cheap tents and sleeping bags crumpled in the dirt, soaked and ratty. This one was the most elaborate.




Oil tank?


No, that leaf did not end up there on it's own.






This place even had a stream (drainage/runoff), which had incised a significant chasm, with how wet the ground was, I actually didn't want to go down for fear of not being able to get back up...


The remains of an old apple orchard, I counted at least 8 trees, in rough rows, the ground was littered with old dead apples.


I got short bursts of sunlight breaking through the clouds, usually right on cue when I walked up to a colorful tree.


These were actually right outside the greenbelt, in the field of an elementary school.




A naked jet taking off from Boeing, perhaps to go get some decals? Note: no windows, must be a cargo model for fedex or whatnot.


Meadowdale high school....


I snickered, then walked away, then realized I actually had a camera with me, and walked back to take this.


I really like this, I think I might do it more often. Kinda trippy huh?
