Looking for a place that should be warmer than here, so I'm thinking probably further than Cle Elum.  Could be over any of the passes.  It just needs to be something that doesn't require a hike in, since the wife doesn't have a suitable pack.

Not really anyplace I'd reccomend in particular.  I've been through all of them at one time or another but have only camped in the Quilomene.

"With all the snow this year it's going to keep you down lower. Maybe Mazama/Winthrop area?"

Just FYI, in case anyone was thinking of using Hwy 20 to get there:

SR 20 - Closed to traffic on SR 20 in both directions from West Avalanche Gate 14 miles east of Newhelem to 9 miles west of Mazama at the Silver Star Gate since 1:14 PM, 05/15/08 until further notice due to avalanche and Avalanche Control Work
From milepost 134 to milepost 171

The North Cascades Highway is closed and will remain closed all weekend due to avalanche danger. Crews will return Monday, May 19, to assess the avalanche and road conditions. One snowslide has already come across the highway at Liberty Bell Mountain (milepost 165). Crews were able to move most of the snow to ensure that travelers could leave the passes. The gates are closed at milepost 134 on the west side and 170.6 on the east side. Drivers should check mountain pass conditions for all passes in the state before traveling this weekend. Pass conditions can be found at www.wsdot.wa.gov or by calling traveler information at 5-1-1.

Just thought while you guys were talking about avalanche control i'd rub a "rover n boat" picture in ya'lls faces.  

Not sure of the flood watch status for Icicle Creek, but here's what the Wenatchee River looked like Sunday morning in Tumwater Canyon. It was REALLY movin'! The water over the dam is usually a couple of inches of smooth water flowing over.
