Iron Goat Trail
Supposedly the most haunted trail in Washington State. And one of the top haunted trails in the United States, “…hikers share tales of hearing voices, screams, and sounds around the crash site.” Eh, I’m doubtful. I think people who hear

Gold Creek Pond
This one had been on my list for a few years. It’s a simple sucker, a mile loop. It always seemed a bit far to go with five kiddos for a measly mile. But it was time to check it

Boulder Garden Loop
Good for kids the WTA hiking description says. It’s called out with a cute little graphic. We took eight kids. They all did fine. But I sure as hell wouldn’t say it’s good for kids. The steep trail with loose

Road Tripping 2022
Sometimes I think I like the idea of things more than actually doing them. Like an 11-day road trip to three locations. It’s not that it was bad, it was fun. But it was too much—and too long—for this homebody.

Eleven!
Laine is 11! Palindrome territory. With each year, Laine gets quirkier and more entertaining. And more mature, but sometimes that’s questionable. Haha. Nah, Laine is a wonderful 11-year-old, with nothing but a bright future ahead of her. She is confident
Talapus Lake
This was back in June. I’m playing catch up. I vaguely remember this hike—pictures help. The hike was Talapus Lake. Let’s see what I can pull from the noggin. It was a Friday and I was concerned about parking. Like

Summer Snippet
Last week was THE BEST summer week. And that’s saying something because most of our summer weeks are pretty great. But last week takes tbahe cake. Let’s breakdown why. SLEEP Sleep is the best. If sleep could be considered a

Flaming Geyser State Park
Every time we drive on the 18, I see the sign for Flaming Geyser State Park. It’s been on my list for years but I never really made an effort to check it out. Until this summer. We had plans

Silverwood 2022
This was only three weeks ago. Take a wager on how long ago it actually feels (more like three months ago). Somehow it’s already July. This whole time thing is weird. In keeping with tradition—and being a creature of habit—Silverwood

Summer of Sixes
It’s summer! And I have big plans. Despite wanting a quiet summer. It’s been years now, where I say I want a quiet summer and then proceed to fill every summer day to the brim. I think I’ve found a
