Upright Channel Paddle - June 14, 2016

 Again the water and weather conditions were perfect for this paddle. Kay, Kathy, Michael, and I put in at Odlin Park not fart from our vacation rental.

We saw this schooner from the deck of our rental so wanted to investigate. 

The vessel was needing a lot of maintenance.

Lake Entiat - May 27, 2026

 This has become almost an annual event for Kay, Michael, Kathy, and I. The weather was perfect and the water was glass for this, our inaugural paddle of the year. I forgot my phone so thanks to Kathy for taking these pictures

Sauer's Mountain - May 2, 2026

This used to be an annual tune up hike for me but it was 4 years since I last did it. This time I had the pleasure of doing it with Peter. It turned out to be an awesome flower hike.

San Joseph Bay, BC - April 26. 2026

 We were turned on to this place by Brian and Lynnelle who visited here last year. It was a tortuous two and a half hour drive over unpaved logging road to get to the trailhead but it was a delightful hike to this magical spot. It was well worth it.

The beach was long and broad

The sea stacks were a highlight.

We accumulated a bit of dust.
