Mount Gardner ALW Hiker's report on Hansen Ridge got me thinking of trying for Mount Gardner, but as I was doing more research I found a track on peakbagger (https://peakbagger.com/climber/ascent.aspx?aid=2920994) ...

Here is a WTA trip report from an intrepid, off-the-beaten-path hiker. Props!

Looking down a trail between banks of trees to Rattlesnake Ledge, a rocky prominence on the west side of Rattlesnake Mountain in North Bend, WA.

Dictionary joke #313: I was going to look up the word 'anatine' but a strange creature that looked like a duck was hovering near the dictionary so I quietly backed away.

It continues to amaze me that anyone can support such an obvious narcissistic lunatic.

Dictionary joke #312: I was going to look up the word 'wimple' but a woman took off the cloth covering her head and put it on top of the dictionary.

The system is rigged. How do we un-rig the system by following the system's rules? Serious question. I keep asking and - crickets.

A civil war? You mean there is a side that is not pro-nazi?

It wants me to create an account to read the "free" article - pass.

Sunny view of the relatively small Silver Lake in Everett, WA.  You can see all the way across the lake to homes and a beach on the other side.  It has a nice playground and park with a disc golf course.  I like to walk around the lake, a bit more than two miles.

I know an 11 month-old little girl who pouts when her grandparents' attention wanders - and here is the malignant narcissist not happy that they are paying attention to the thing that fell over.

Dictionary joke #311: I was going to look up the word 'virtuoso' but I couldn't stop thinking about Simone Lamsma's performance of Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto at Seattle Symphony - a total distraction.

Granite Mountain Headed up towards the lookout on a gray and rainy morning. Yesterday had a fair bit of rain, so I was expecting snowy conditions up higher; I brought micro spikes and gaiters. The trail was clear and ...

Props to these WTA trip reporters for braving Granite Mountain (about 47 miles east of Seattle) in the snow. This is a tough hike in August but right now?

The lesson: If you are charged with a crime, hope that a moronic TV lawyer is behind the prosecution.

Tiger Mountain Trail North, Lingering Trail We've really enjoyed the brilliant fall color in Puget Sound this year.ย  It is winding down but still going strong in areas.ย  We were surprised to only see 3 people all day. The light rain enhanced .....

Dictionary joke #310: I was going to look up the word 'chiarascuro' but the directions to the dictionary were written in an unusual format, very dark and then very white.

A sandwich was tossed at an ICE
The DOJ claimed it was vice
But the jury acquitted
The charge was dim-witted
And justice escaped from the vice

We should believe the Jewish space laser psychopath as much as a young woman encountering Ted Bundy should have believed he just needed a hand putting the boat on the roof.

This description would easily fit the J6 Proud Boy thugs pardoned by the malignant narcissist.

I stopped using Amazon years ago. The only argument in its favor is how easy it is to use. But you can go elsewhere with about 60 to 90 seconds of extra time. Just do it.

Dictionary joke #309: I was going to look up the word 'pizzicato' but there was a guy plucking the strings of a violin near the dictionary and I didn't want to butt in.

You mean he is going to murder people on boats in international waters? Or impose tariffs based on the false belief that other countries pay the tax? Things like that?
