We both enjoy camping in the PNW, I also enjoy back packing although I’ve only been once. It’s therefore pretty important to us that A gets used to camping as soon as possible, although COVID-19 is really putting a block on things. Washington State recently relaxed into Phase 2, so I felt comfortable going camping… Continue reading Herb and Flower Farm Camping – 27 June 2020

Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
I went on this hike with one lady - usual hiking buddy - and we hoped to meet the other one on the trail....which we did! Lovely to see her briefly too. Driving along the i90 towards Snoqualmie Pass we were able to see how much snow was still around. I knew that people were… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/20/17
Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
Brrr...not as cold as Franklin Falls, but it was still quite chilly! We went up with a friend of mine who doesn't get to hike with others very often. The recent trip reports on WTA mentioned that microspikes would be needed and I am so pleased we took ours. At times it was very very… Continue reading Rattlesnake Ledge 15/01/2017
Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
I finally had the opportunity to use my snow shoes which we brought from Costco before Christmas. This was not the original plan, but because I managed to hurt my thigh yesterday by slipping on the Ira Springs Trail I asked to go somewhere nearer. I was the driver too, and couldn't face driving almost… Continue reading Gold Creek Pond 03/22/16
Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
So I hiked this with my two hiking buddies from the Ladies Hiking Group, we were aware of the low avalanche warning and for me I certainly feel comfortable speaking to the others if I feel like I can't or shouldn't continue on a route. This trail proved this, and also that we hike similarly… Continue reading Ira Springs Trail 03/21/16
Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
An afternoon hike for me and Hubster today. I saw this hike posted on the Ladies Group but on a day when I would be unable to join them, but it looked like a nice one so I nabbed it! Licorice Fern Trail is about 4.5 miles long, with not a huge elevation so was… Continue reading Licorice Fern Trail 03/05/16
Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
The ladies I hiked with, minus one who needed to head back down. Next time! I knew this would be a hard hike, it is steep and long, plus I need to carry my own pack. There are some reasons why I married Hubster :-p This was another Ladies Group Hike, and I really can… Continue reading Mount Si Old Trail 02/29/16
The Talus Loop 02/20/16
A small afternoon hike with Sausage and Igloo as well as Hubster. I choose this one! I was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was and will do this one again, I reckon it would be suitable for a trail run during the week. I would feel confident doing this hike alone. Talus Loop Trail… Continue reading The Talus Loop 02/20/16
Teneriffe Falls 2/15/16
6am my alarm went off! 6am! I couldn't believe it. Up before Hubster, and actually up. Today he is off to Steven's Pass for a day on his board with Beardy on his skis. It was a rainy morning which continued into a rainy day, but what a good morning it was! I really enjoyed… Continue reading Teneriffe Falls 2/15/16
Little Si 1/22/16
Sometimes I find myself wanting to go out hiking but not knowing the areas nearby well enough, and not wanting to go solo I was at a loss of what to do. Weekends do not always work out well, and other times the weather might be poor. I have 3 days during the week I find… Continue reading Little Si 1/22/16
