-> They have one telephone that you can only call out on.
-> There are 3 Ham Radio operators that live there. I talked to one of them a
-> few years ago on my radio and I got to meet him when
-> we were at the Bakery the other weekend. Boy, was he surprised!! There is
-> electricity, but no TV or Radio. Stehekin is in the bottom of a deep
anyon
-> and no signals can get in there. Most of the people who live there like it
-> that way, although 2 younger couples did buy those 18 inch satelite
-> recievers,but they are the minority.
That is so cool. I love places like this.
-> I was looking on the map and it seems that by trail, You
-> can come in from up north on the Crest Trail and drop right down into
-> Stehekin. It's approx 20 miles of trail. Another way would be to drive up
-> the Twisp River Road and take the War Creek Trail. It's about 10 miles of
-> trail. A friend of mine hiked in from the west side of the mountains. It's
a
-> long way and I think I would rather ride a horse. Of coarse the scenery
-> is spectacular. The Lake is 55 miles long and it takes the boat 4 hrs one
-> way.
That is a pretty long lake for sure. I guess I will have to put that on my
list of places to visit when I retire.
