A little while ago I was excited to hear the news about the newest Mt. Rainier map that was being debuted by Green Trails.

Hikermama had asked if I had Saturday free for a kidling hike and between that and cleaning out our gutters? Hiking won. Duh!

New recipe up on Trailcooking! Spring Pasta Salad, an FBC friendly no cook meal that is also veg friendly! A couple photos my good friend Hoosierdaddy sent me this morning of his recent trip in the Goat Rocks Wilderness and near Mt. Adams. I was not able to join him – it was a hot [...]

Fair warning: I not only hike but enjoy responsible 4 wheeling with my family. This trip report does contain a little hiking but is more about the run we did. Saturday morning Kirk, Ford and I headed off to Eastern Washington early, to meet up with his Xterra group for a run and also camping. [...]
