I just dropped off my passport application and discovered that not only did I have an “old” form (and so had to fill out another “new” form) but that the price has gone up $3.00 to a nice round $100.
When I asked her about it she said it was the state/county processing fees that went [...]
Is it the blue sky, blue water and sunshine? The fact that it was vacation? That it was a very good vacation? The wonderful people I met? Or all of the above? My thoughts have drifted back today to my week of solo vacation in the Everette/Seattle area last summer.
If it wasn’t for the horrible [...]
I must be feeling a wee bit better. I’m starting to envision Life After the Cold.
While we were cleaning I found myself pondering a question that weighs heavily on my mind this time of year: Where Do We Go For Summer Vacation? The boys, being boys, have no opinions. Assuming that a shrug and a [...]
Home at last.
Now begins the slow process of re-assimilation.
My flight got in late last night (about 11 p.m.) and by the time I got home from the airport it was almost 12:30 a.m. So I slept in a bit.
I need to get this laundry going, shower and get ready for a 1p.m. memorial service for [...]
I’ve scanned in some pictures from previous trips to Holden to keep you company while I’m gone.
A final shot of the village. Again, I wish there was smell-o-vision for blogs. The scent of the cedar trees, the warm earth, fresh bread baking and the warmth of the sun or the cool rain on your skin [...]

Another shot of Copper Basin. It’s one of the prettiest destinations of the hikes, even if it is the hardest (IMO)

Here are the boys in 2000 as we set off on a hike up valley.
A year ago on This Journey I was learning that some people were actually reading this thing! Including a [...]

Copper basin is a short (3 mile one way) hike from the village but it has a 2300 foot elevation change. Up. As in climbing steeply for most of the hike. It’s a hike I’ve only done twice. I [...]

Looking up valley (west. more or less) from the main road of the village.
And the general layout. So many hikes. So little time. And so much altitude!
