This as a quick trip to Manchester State Park in late April, 2026.

Couple of trips to the Point Defiance Zoo between May and early June 2026.

This was a Memorial Day weekend trip to the Mt St Helens and Gifford Pinot National Forest area. I stayed to the southern area of the national forest, but did venture out to the Ape Caves, Trail of Two Forests and the quick jaunt to Panther Creek Falls. Ape Caves is a lava tube near …

This was another trip to the Lemay Car Museum in February 2026. They still had the same exhibit on their top floor as my last trip in November, 2025, but did have a few cars that had been changed out throughout the other floors.

This was a trip up to Fort Flagler State Park in February 2026. I did my typical hike of the bluff trail this trip. Weather was overcast with slight drizzle and some wind, so the views off the bluff were alright but not the best I have seen here.
