A great resource for local hiking is the Washington Trails Association https://www.wta.org/

Having fire in the backcountry: will remove accumulated organic matter (which happens slowly in the alpine areas and hurts them for decades) and not everyone is extinguishing their fires properly.

but about as scenic as Scenic.

I mean, does the Sand Bar count lol? Maybe they can claim the Espresso Chalet too?

Is that entirely accurate? I’ve read that it was human-caused but nothing about it being started in the backcountry. I initially read that it was at a campground but haven’t been able to find much info. I’d say a better recommendation would be to pay attention to burn bans and take them seriously. Having a fire in the backcountry is not necessarily worse than anywhere else.

At least it’s accurate! 🤣

Thank you! Unfortunately the shape of the mountain there with snow does in fact look like a small penis and giant balls in real life haha

Really cool and creative

However there is one part that looks like a small penis with giant balls near where he’s squatting

jealous!

So you hope he will run. I read “I hope not” and assumed I’d see a bunch of anti-Inslee stuff after lol.

I think you may be right

Do you have a source? I can’t find where he said that.

Discovery Park

Thanks! No, this one was more of a snow roading drive on Forest Road 9070 and we got out a couple of spots. But the Pacific Crest Trail does run right by this area and there are spots to park and hop on the trail. Beautiful area.

Pun aside, grew up doing 4th of July there as Uncle Bobby had one of the 2 dozen houses next to the river. Fond memories of laying coins on the train tracks and then hunting for them after a train came through, making the long hike to lookout point, and hearing the booms of fireworks ripping through the valley. I still drive through occasionally, beautiful town.

Great picture! Were you backpacking? I’m trying to learn about cool winter destinations up here.

Beautiful and sad picture.

Reminder to everyone: no fires in the backcountry. Even if you have done it in the past. Bolt creek fire has started from one of those fires.

Nor as much money as Gold Bar or nearly the Banks.

This is the exact reason I don't vote Republican currently. Let's make up a lie and spread it no matter how foolish it makes us look.

Well until the Republicans run someone who is sane and a moderate, which is not likely, Jay can or will be our governor for a while longer.

No.

Yep. He knows how to run our state. Last thing we need is some reactionary fuckwit turning everything upside down.

Not as ambitious as Startup.
