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. [...]

A few more photos borrowed from Steve and Jared. Teresa in front, me in back crossing a section that was barely there this year: This section is worse this year than it was last year. Last year there was at least a path to walk on, though it was still shifty. This year there is [...]

Continuing on from Part 1. Waking up in Big Crow Basin is a treat. Wide and open the sun slips up early, warming one up. Well, it did a bit but then finally the promised bad weather did come. Never bad though – as we were packing up a quick storm blew across us for [...]
