Colchuck Lake - July 21, 2012

It was 14 years since I last visited Colchuck Lake. Then Lynnelle, Craig and I camped there before going up Aasgard and into the Enchantments. It's still just as beautiful. Craig joined me for this return hike.

Wedge Mountain - July 7, 2012

Wedge Mountain was my first adventure from our new Leavenworth base. Patrick and Emily joined me on this perfect day. Surprisingly there was virtually no snow at the nearly 6800 ft summit; quite a contrast to conditions on the western slopes of the Cascades.

Indian Island BC - July 27, 2012

Kay and I enjoyed a circumnavigation of Indian Island in Clayoquot Sound on our Tofino trip. It was in Tofino nine years earlier that Kay got hooked on paddling.

Vancouver Island - June 25-29, 2012

Kay and I spent 5 days camping on the West coast of Vancouver Island near Tofino in the Pacific Rim National Park with Brian and Lynnelle and the kids. Here's a sample of our beach adventures.
