A day of crowds. Took my family on the second or third ever westbound 2 Line train with the mayor of Seattle and other officials, then we walked around cherry blossoms at the UofW quad, then marched in the No Kings rally. #nokings #pnw #2line

I’m always surprised about the people here that are out of touch with or uninterested in nature. Just looking around anywhere outside there’s something amazing. How can you not at least appreciate it?

Finally able to edit and share my camera photos from the drive from Las Vegas to Phoenix last month. I'll focus on the landforms, landscapes, and cool geology. Here's a view of Twin Brothers peak from the Zion-Mount Carmel Highway in Zion National Park. #nps #landscapephotography #utah #desert

Traveled on some trails that were new to me on Tiger Mountain yesterday: Nook Trail to Section Line Trail up to West Tiger 3, then the connector over to Tiger 1, down the Preston Trail, then back via the TMT, Railroad Grade, and Tiger 3 trails. #pnw #hiking

Ugh, this is terrible. I couldn’t help the guy because of where they were in the road. But I shouted, honked, and gestured at an agent best I could. Sucks to replay it in my head and wish I could have done more.

Your map is correct. It was ICE, they had a patch across their vests that said ICE POLICE.

It is brutally steep and it took me a while with many breaks, but with hiking poles I only needed to use my hands a couple of times so I count it as a hike.

Did the Kamikaze trail up Mt. Teneriffe today. It’s called that because of 2,300 feet of gain in the last 9/10ths of a mile. Overall hiked 10 miles with just over 4k of gain. View of Rainier from near the top. #pnw #hiking
