M.I.A.

I thought that I would let you know why I have not posted anything new. This is because we all became sick, then my eldest had to have surgery, and we went to a memorial for a fellow church member. So that being said I am hoping that I/we can get out next week. I hope that you all have had some amazing hiking adventurers!

Skagit Wildlife Area #37

-

On Friday night I asked my daughter if we should go hiking on Sabbath, because I couldn't make up mind; she said yes. (I am so thankful that she loves to hike.) Today we headed to the Skagit Wildlife Area. I have been there before and wanted to take the kids to see and hear the birds and knew it was an easy 2.4 miles round trip hike. So we headed out to enjoy one more hike before the summer weather was gone. To get to the Skagit Wildlife Area take I-5 north or south bound and take exit 221 to Lake McMurray, head west onto Pioneer Highway to the round about and take the 2nd exit (Fir Island Rd). Follow the road until you need to make a left onto Wylie Road. Follow Wylie road until you come to a gravel road and a Washington Fish and Wildlife sign. Don't follow the curve and go left, you will have passed the Wild life area. The parking lot is very large and has a covered picnic area and a pit toilet bathroom. As we were leaving the parking area the kids ...

North Fork Sauk Trail to Pacific Crest Trail #60-63

Our Pacific Crest Trail trip......I was starting to get nervous and anxious about it around 4 weeks before we were to depart. This is in part because I felt under prepared, scared that I might not be able to do that many miles (100) or days (13), and petrified of the blisters I knew I was going to get, the trail closers from the fires, and the air quality due to the fires, also played a factor in how I felt.   Then the weekend came and my friend L who we were supposed to meet at the junction of the North fork Sauk trail and the PCT (she planned this whole thing) had a family emergency and was not able to come along with us. I thought that B and I would cancel as well. But he insisted that we go. On Tuesday when we were supposed to be leaving I tried my hardest to convince him that we shouldn't be goin on this adventure. After much discussion and I mean lots of discussion, we loaded up the car with our gear, the kids, my in-laws, us and proceeded to the trail h...

Cherry Creek Falls #58

After my daughter's visit to the dentist, we met my mother in law at the Duvall Safeway and headed to Cherry Creek Falls. I saw on a post somewhere a while ago that it was an easy hike and that the falls were really nice to see and quit enjoyable to play in. I recommend car pooling because the parking is along the shoulder of the road. Which they have broadened the shoulder because the gravel is new and the asphalt on the road is new. A parking pass of any kind is not required. There is no bathroom and there isn't any drinking water. So bring lots of water if you go when it is really hot. This is the trail head. The trail is on private property so please keep your dog on a leash and pick up any garbage or mess that you make so people are still able to use the trail. Not very long after beginning the hike you come upon this old abandoned car. The trail is pretty wide and clear, so there aren't really any tripping hazards. On this trail the...
