Silver Falls National Recreation Trail - May 3, 2019

Fire has drastically altered the landscape around the falls compared to our first visit here five years ago. Considerable damage to the infrastructure occurred. Much has been repaired but there is still much to do. Nevertheless it was gorgeous, the day beautiful, and we were able to share it with friends.

There was considerable damage to railings.

Upper Skagit Bay - April 29, 2019

I joined Bob for my first paddle of the year on this beautiful day. We paddled from Ala Spit to Hope Island to investigate camping spots and then down to the Whole in the Wall near LaConner and back.
