Olympic National Park, WA

Spent some lovely time with friends James and Wendi in Olympic National Park.  Stunning views all around!  Up on top of Hurricane Ridge we could see across the Puget Sound to Canada on this beautiful day!

Anacortes, WA, and area

I know it's been a long time folks but I did want to share some pics of Anacortes, WA, and area where we have spent the past month.  Originally, of course, we had other plans this year. But ending up staying a month in this beautiful area helped to make up for some of those plans.

Friends of ours now have us hooked on geocaching which has added a whole other dimension to our hiking.....which now revolves around finding hidden geocaches!

Some of the places in this area:

Fort Ebey State Park




Skagit Bay and Craft Island





Little Mountain Park


note old wreck from many years ago

ghost pipe


Spam Museum, Austin, Minnesota

We were staying just a few miles away in Blooming Prairie and, of course, were going into Austin to a couple of breweries....how could we no...
