Wet Washington at Mt. Baker
More drive-by photos, except this time I wasn’t driving – just looking out the very wet back window as we traveled to Mt. Baker in the Cascade Mountains to hike in the rain. The dutch influence on the farms in the Skagit Valley is obvious. Baker Lake is barely visable through the clouds. The logs…

Grand Canyon, North Rim Day 2
This was Day 2 of our trip to the Grand Canyon North Rim. I’m not pityfishing here, but I had just given up my crutches after surgery (hip replacement and one full inch added to the length of my leg to even out a discrepancy made worse by my first hip surgery 5 years ago) on…

Road Tripping through Arizona
In trying to get back in sequence with the Arizona/Utah trip last fall: I offer this road trip that took place between the Virgin River Campground and the Grand Canyon North Rim campground. The nifty thing about most of these photos, is that they were caught as I was following a pretty fast truck…

So far, he’s spent 53 days in ICU, time on 4th floor, rehab in another Sharp facility, then back to ICU for the process to start over, back to 4th…

Victoria, British Columbia, Part 2
The day after Butchart Gardens (which was cloudy and rainy) we visited the Royal British Columbia Museum. This view of the Parliament Buildings was taken through the third story window of the museum. We worked our way through three floors of history of how the northwest was settled and saw wonderful examples of the First Nations who first lived…
