Woke up to what I could call a mostly free morning and Kirk encouraged me to head up into the mountains. I wasn’t sure where to go so I drove up into the clouds. Something told me to go to Sunrise at Rainier and who am I to ignore the luring song in my head? [...]

Love the photos and ideas from Baz’s blog on making Rum and Raisin Bannock Bread. Baz also this summer tried out a gluten free bannock recipe of his making. Also check out LiteHikers blog post on his recipe for bannock and a recipe we posted as well for another version here. ~Sarah

I drove up to Snoqualmie Pass this morning happy and sad at the same time – my mission was to pick up Tom and Tori from their thru hike on the PCT. Due to time constraints they would be stopping at the half way mark in Washington. The weather gave them a Washington welcome home [...]

There sits an area that I love to hike, just South of where the long standing free for all clearcuts start on the PCT here in Washington. Our goal this morning was to hike in and kick back all day in a certain meadow waiting for thru’s to come by. And we did just that. [...]
