Pacific Crest Trail. ~PROBABLY POISONOUS~ So else remembers all the wonderful mushrooms in Washington? They kept us busy trying to identify all of them while providing hours of conversation in town. Don't remember these ones, but they reminded me of jelly candies, probably poisonous though..

Lynn Headwaters Park ~DAY HIKERS~ So we lived long enough to become the villain. Lora and I enjoyed a pleasant day hike with our best mate @pig_in_butcher into the North shore mountains. Here we discovered some secret mines from nearly a century ago. The biggest surprise of the day was the discovery of an entire camp! Along the way we had to climb this very stable but scary log crossing. Reminiscent of our time in the Sierra Nevada. @go.wing.it looked like a pro the whole time.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~LIQUID DREAMS~ Here's a picture of a silty stream in Mt Adams national forest. I didn't drink out of it, but it had a cool blue hue to it that stood out. That area had a ton of cool streams and lakes and was one of our favourites hiking through the state.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~EAGLE ROCK CONSPIRACY~ Now I'm all for believing this natural rock formation just happened to resemble the same bird of prey of the county it resides in. Sure.. Ok. Really? C'mon... There aren't any beaver rocks in Canada. Let's be real.. What do YOU think?

Pacific Crest Trail. ~SUNSETS ARE MAGICAL~ So, are you a sunset or sunrise type of hiker? We were definitely into the sunsets for many reasons. The most important reason being it was bedtime right after.. YAY! And also it was beautiful. We really did try hard to wake up before sunrise each morning to enjoy them, but it was just so hard! The Sierra section was the only time we successfully ever woke up really early. In the photo, we sat on the Aqueduct and marveled at the distance we'd come. By that point we'd already walked over 750km and our motivation was only getting stronger! I always found it funny how I'd be amazed by the incredible display of colours and layers of sunsets, only to be spooked out after dark by the creepy sounds and sights of a dark forest. Oh well, @go.wing.it Always protected me.

Pacific Crest Trail. ~DEATH VALLEY~ So in Death Valley, we passed the sand dunes and I immediately imagined myself sliding down these things on a plastic garbage bag. Kicking up dust and reaching speeds unheard of. Fast forward to the actual event and I'm standing at the top of the biggest sand dune. I jump off and land on the bag, sinking into the sand and causing a mini slide that carries me a whopping two feet... . . Sometimes life isn't what you expect, but always have just as much fun failing as you do winning! Photo credit :@go.wing.it
