Hopefully the 4th of July weekend was good for everyone – though that means most of us are back to work today! With Western Washington still in the throes of freaking winter our options for hiking have been well noted as being minimal. On Saturday Kirk and I took the boys out for an easy [...]

Last Saturday while hiking my eyes caught a glimpse of red and then black in the shadows along the trail: Photo © Kirk Kirkconnell.
