Ice Lakes
Above is a painting by Doug Miller, one of the local Leavenworth artists, of the Ice Lakes area near Wenatchee. Northern Fruit out of Wenatchee has taken over operating the Ice Lakes facility and is excited to kick off their use of the plant with the 2009 crop of gala apples. Just thinking about those crisp Wenatchee Gala apples is making my mouth water. Actually, I did have a nice tart pink lady apple after our bounding intervals this morning. Apples have become my favorite post-workout snack because they're tasty, they travel in my bag without getting mushed, and I'm in a I-don't-eat-packaged-food trend.
After seeing first-hand how Northern runs their Nordic Apples facility in East Wenatchee I'm sure the Ice Lakes facility will be an impressively smooth operation too. Hopefully I'll get to go visit and do some mountain running/hiking next time I'm down in Washington!

Hi Laura- Actually the painting is by Doug Miller. I am so glad that you are displaying some of his fabulous work. Great note as well-hope you make it back to the valley soon.
That's Amanda-belly's dad! His stuff so totally rocks.
And i wish i had a washinghton apple right now...the midwest ones are all mushy. Sigh...just another entry on the long list of why the flatlands just really can't compare...
thanks for the name fix!
ko- if it makes you feel better, by the time apples get up here they're not quite real wenatchee apples anymore either.
