a hike near issaquah

I don’t remember which Washington state park we went to, but we hiked through some gorgeous trails.

camping at big basin

I went camping at Big Basin in August:  Noisy campground neighbors, a fun long hike and good food and company.bagels on the toaster

I couldn’t help being amazed by this little toaster.  It looks like the “Stansport Folding Camp Stove Toaster”.  Though a little slow, it made toasting so much more fun.

A photo from the hike.  I have tons of the trees, redwoods and so on, but I think I like this photo more than the others.  We took the Skyline to the Sea Trail and checked out the waterfalls.

The sky was pretty.  Here’s a long exposure of redwoods lit by the campfire.
