Pine Creek Canyon and Wildflowers, Zion National Park, UT

Randi was in Zion with a couple of Californiac friends, and invited me for some fun. I had a class in Yankee Doodle on Saturday, but joined Randi, Kelley from San Fran, and Jay from Death Valley for quick visits to Keyhole Canyon and Pine Creek Canyon

Sahale Peak, North Cascades

Morning comes, still socked in. Reports from the previous day were that the cloud stopped at the divide. We decide to climb up and over Sahale Peak (8680 feet) and get a good view of the world,

Camping in the North Cascades

We awoke to fog - a state of being, within a cloud, literally. So we hung out. Nothing cleared by 10 am, so a rest day was declared. I decided I needed a warmer sleeping bag and more padding, and jogged down to the car to pick up a few things, including the Megamid. Good thing too, as about 6 pm it started drizzling, and kept at it until morning.

Well, we ain't nuts, so we made the last long drive to the land of the Maple Leaf in search of glorious canyon fame.

I was amped for the drive into the great North. The highlight of the night definitely came in Sedro-Woolley. I never realized how important the process of beer selection is.
