Up the creek
Now that the pressure's off (slightly) at work, I was able to take a long weekend to go car camping with the family in the Cascades. We never stay in organized campgrounds, the way we had to when we lived in California. Nope, in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, you can camp for free just about anywhere except campgrounds and trailheads.
Since this blog has a readership approaching zero, it's probably safe to mention where our favorite spots are: along the North Fork of the Sauk River, southeast of Darrington. Take Road 49 off the Mountain Loop Highway and head upstream to several fine riverside campsites. Our favorite site at a 90-degree bend in the river was occupied, so we found a new one, complete with two fire rings and an ancient table, not far from where Sloan Creek joins the North Fork, elevation 2,000 feet. We pitched our tents in an old-growth grove where trees up to 6 feet in diameter provided a shady canopy over a site that could easily have held a dozen people. Surrounding it were thickets of ripe huckleberries. The road was a hundred feet away. So was the creek, but that was OK -- we heard it loud and clear, and strolled over whenever we wanted to soak our feet. Gourmet cooking and reading P. G. Wodehouse aloud around the campire -- now that's the life! We didn't see another soul all weekend.
The trout weren't biting, but we didn't care. They'll just be bigger next time.

Nano Superlattice Technology Inc. (OTCBB Symbol: NSLT) is a nanotechnology company engaged in the coating of tools and components with nano structured PVD coatings for high-tech industries.
Nano utilizes Arc Bond Sputtering and Superlattice technology to apply multi-layers of super-hard elemental coatings on an array of precision products to achieve a variety of physical properties. The application of the coating on industrial products is designed to change their physical properties, improving a product's durability, resistance, chemical and physical characteristics as well as performance. Nano's super-hard alloy coating materials were especially developed for printed circuit board drills in response to special market requirements
The cutting of circuit boards causes severe wear on the cutting edge of drills and routers. With the increased miniaturization of personal electronics devices the dimensions of holes and cut aways are currently less than 0.2 mm. Nano coats tools with an ultra thin coating (only a few nanometers in thickness) of nitrides which can have a hardness of up to half that of diamond. This has proven to increase tool life by almost ten times. Nano plans to continue research and development into these techniques due to the vast application range for this type of nanotechnology
We believe that Nano is a company on the move. With today�s steady move towards miniaturization we feel that Nano is a company with the right product at the right time. It is our opinion that an investment in Nano will produce great returns for our readers.
