It is hard to believe three months have passed since we hiked our "go to" place, but time flies. We made use of the break in the rain on Saturday, did a quick hike and then tackled our long list of to dos throughout the latter part of the day. A few items to note: we saw a brown salamander on the trail (a first), saw several avalanche lilies (which I have only seen up at Mt. Rainier in the snow) and a woman was being brought down on a stretcher (a first). All of which goes to show that even "go to" places can have their moments of new and interesting.
