For Odell, an old friend
I
’d like to tell you about one
of my favorite places on
Earth.
In the decade that my wife
and I have lived in this area,
we’ve discovered certain places
that have made and continue to
make a deeper impact, places
where an inspired, natural and
zestful life seems just that much
easier to grasp, and where it’s
remarkably easy to be the hu-
mans we like to think we’d be
if forever freed from society’s
relentless grind.
Over the weekend, we were
fortunate enough to return to
such a place, to the splendor
that is Odell Lake and a small
cabin from which to take in the
Cascade Mountains’ majesty.
We’ve been coming to Odell —
a large, deep and often impos-
sibly clear mountain lake in an
area that’s rife with them — for
years, and with each visit, the
area offers more of its secrets
while simultaneously refusing
to change much with the march-
ing of time. Late Friday, we
arrived in time to watch a bald
eagle rifl e overhead above the
resort parking lot, close enough
to see the lake water dripping
from the fi sh that still wriggled
in the bird’s powerful talons. A
moment passed as we each took
a deep, soul-cleansing breath of
fresh mountain air before load-
ing our gear onto sleds for the
walk up to our cabin (the only
way to bring much to the cabins
in the wintertime, as the roads
up the hill behind the resort are
mostly impassible in the snow).
A lake for all
seasons
Our fi rst visit to Odell Lake
came in the summertime, and I
was immediately overcome by
the scenery, as if someone had
taken pains to create the ideal
mountain lake as I’d envisioned
it as a teenager from the all-too-
fl at Midwest. I had also imme-
diately regretted not bringing a
fi shing rod. At the resort lodge,
I’d heard about the world-class
fi shing for lake or Mackinaw
trout — behemoth predators
that stalk the lake’s depths —
and Kokanee, a species of land-
locked salmon.
Lacking a boat to get at these
larger fi sh, however, I was
downhearted until the attendant
at the Lodge’s front desk told
me one of the lake’s secrets.
That evening, I rented a basic
rod-and-reel combo, purchased
a cup of worms and some light
tackle and got to bed, anxious
for morning.
Just after daylight, I walked
past the oft-fi shed dock down
the bank a ways, casting a worm
into the fi rst sandy patch on the
lake bottom even as a sleek, fat
rainbow trout cruised the shal-
lows. Breathlessly I watched
through the crystal-clear water
as the fi sh circled once, twice,
three times before nabbing my
worm and exploding through

and seasoned skiers alike.
the surface of the water, head-
ed skyward. I’d hook several
more rainbows that day, watch-
ing the approach of each to the
hook, before the afternoon wind
picked up, kicking boaters off
the water and signaling that it
was literally time to go take a
hike.
Years later, the opportunity to
catch and keep feisty, beautiful
and delicious native trout still
serves as the unquestioned high-
light of a summer trip to Odell
Lake.
Winter paradise
Over the weekend, of course,
the lake offered a different kind
of scene, its waters a placid steel
gray against a backdrop of sev-
eral feet of snow. After settling
into our cabin, we piled layers
of clothing onto our four-year
old and headed out into the
powder.
I’ve never seen anyone eat so
much snow in my life; in fact,
I didn’t think it was possible to
be so enamored of munching
