An Urban Walk on the Green River
Today I went to the big warehouse store in Tukwila and noticed for the first time that it was directly next to the Green River Trail. (Costco, you heard of it? And no, I really don’t shop here much, too crowded.) Anyway, back to… Continue Reading “An Urban Walk on the Green River”

A Northwest Hike to Twin Falls
I follow the trail to Twin Falls along the South Fork of the Snoqualmie River, leaving Bob behind to fish. There are enough hikers on the trail for me to feel safe hiking alone and few enough to provide me with the solitude I… Continue Reading “A Northwest Hike to Twin Falls”

Soos Creek Botanical Garden
After the rain showers this week, I visited the lovely Soos Creek Botanical Garden today.

Fresh air and… Continue Reading “Soos Creek Botanical Garden”

The… Continue Reading “Cedar River Trail and the Big Birds Beside”

More than half way there
After a rendezvous with winter earlier this week (was it really only six days ago?) the rain quickly followed and washed the snow away leaving only heavy clouds by yesterday. Today the sun emerged victorious giving us a foretaste of spring. Still cold but perfect for walking so… Continue Reading “More than half way there”

Hiking at Nolte State Park…
One thing I love about living in the Pacific Northwest is the proximity to the woods and many trails. Today we went to Nolte State Park and hiked around Deep Lake. Okay walked, not hiked. The well maintained and level loop trail was only a… Continue Reading “Hiking at Nolte State Park…”
