A Stellar Day!...... NW Cascade Wanderings

in actifit •  last year 

A stellar day!

We got up today with the intention of hiking the full ‘old’ loop of trails that we used to do. The route would take us up to the off grid cabin; up the High Trail; down through Bear Hollow; along Slumbering Bear Trail; up to Buckhorn Loop and onward to Towhee Ridge. Then, back through Bear Hollow to descend the High Trail back to the off grid cabin on down to to trailhead and back home. Whew-that sounds tiring just typing it, but the sun was shining and I had been anticipating this all weekend! We met up with Jan at 11:15 AM and started out.

We were getting ready to hike the Slumbering Bear Trail. We came to Soaring Eagle Trail and @silvertop wanted to just go down to the switchback to get a pic. I opted to not go as I had awoken with my back out. I didn’t think I’d be able to hike at all, but somehow, it righted itself and I was relatively pain free. I didn’t want to push my luck as this whole hike is over 6 miles anyway. Here’s a pic of him as he starts down.

Jan and I opted to continue in Slumbering Bear. We came across some interesting bracket fungi.

Some Turkey Tail Mushrooms

On the way back down, I found these little guys boldly proclaiming it’s spring!

After the hike, I made coffees for us and we headed to Tractor Supply in Lynden to get one last propane tank. I always like to look around and was not disappointed as I found these!

They were so cute and snuggly, all piled up together under the heat lamp! 🦆🦆🦆

Speaking of coffee, we got word today that the Amazon seller decided to go ahead and send us another espresso machine! I am cautiously hopeful, but will kind of believe it when it arrives. We sent our info and I asked for tracking, so we will see.

Tomorrow, I get to go to ladies Bible study for the first time in a month! I am looking forward to it!

That’s gonna be it for now. Take care and enjoy your evening! Please continue to pray for 🇺🇦
