Snoqualmie Lake

On Saturday, Tim and I set out to do the longest hike yet. It starts with a 12 mile drive down a dirt road and then you hike 7.5 miles into the Alpine Lakes Wilderness to Snoqualmie Lake. For those of you playing along at home, it’s hike #18 from Beyond...

Thunder Knob

Tyla and I headed up to Concrete, WA to camp with her family for the Fourth of July weekend. Photos from our weekend include shots of a hike to Diablo Lake and Gorge Dam, making fire with flint, mini golf, and blowing my new vuvuzella at the parade. And...

Annette Lake

I’ve really had the itch to get some hiking and exploring done. Last Saturday the weather and our calendar finally aligned and we took advantage of it. I had planned to drive back down that dirt road that Tim and I found, but after chatting with a forest...

Mowich Lake

Saturday was our one year anniversary. 365 days ago, Tyla and I had our first date, and for some reason, she has put up with me for a whole year. To celebrate, we drove down to Mowich Lake . Mowich Lake is located in the northwest corner of the park,...

Artists Point Panorama

It’s been a while since I’ve done a panoramic stitch, but Saturday’s ride to the top of Artists Point was the perfect opportunity. There are a couple ways to view it. First, you can open the JPG directly but be warned that it’s about 9MB.   I also...

Heybrook Lookout

The Washington Trails Association website is great for discovering the status of various trails (covered in snow? etc) and finding new trails. They have one great site that lists a bunch of mountain fire lookouts that are reachable by day hikes. On Sunday...

Crystal Clear Skiing

We have been in a dry spell recently. Strange weather has given us 50 degree temps at the top of the mountain and temps below 40 in Seattle (6000 feet lower.) This has resulted in rock hard conditions on the mountains after they freeze overnight. Sounds...

Rattlesnake Ledge

It is Mom and Dad's last day in town so I took them on a hike up to the top of Rattlesnake Ledge. It was a pretty nice day so we had a great view from the top. I, of course, took another panoramic photo. You can click on it for the full size view...

Gigapixel Panoramas

Today's digital cameras are taking extremely high resolution images. When you start stitching them together with products like Windows Live Photo Gallery, you can easily end up with gigapixel images. Viewing that on a normal monitor just doesn't...

Twin Falls

After my abysmal physical performance on Friday, I was pretty down on myself so I decided I need to get back on the trail and prove I wasn't a tub of lard. After church on Sunday, I drove to exit 34 and found Twin Falls State Park. The trail is not...

Rattlesnake Lake Hike

After I skied on Saturday morning, I met Rachel and Tim at Rattlesnake Lake for hike #10 from our hike book . As you can see from the GPS track below, we walked down to the lake since we had never been there before. The lake looks a bit low and the map...

Memorial Day Skiing

Alpental opened for another weekend! The skiing was not good, but I had to go up there and at least make a couple runs to say that I skied on Memorial Day weekend. The forecast was sketchy, but the day ended up being gorgeous. Once I saw how sloppy the...

Sunday Ride

Rachel and I hopped on the motorcycle on Sunday and went exploring. The first interesting site was the split in the road pictured below. You can click on it for the full view. The road splits and both directions have a Dead End sign. I feel like this...

Attendance

There is a lot of talk about the low attendance numbers for the Mariners at Safeco field this season. Some speculate that it is due to the cloudier/cooler weather we have been having this spring. Others say it is because they are playing horribly (14...

NASCAR Pictures

I finally got around to posting some pictures from the race in Michigan . It's a tough event to take pictures of, but it should at least give you a rough idea. The panorama that I stitched together is somewhat interesting too. In other news, the record...
