Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest – Current Conditions
Posted by john in Uncategorized on June 13th, 2009
Frustrating morning, up early and out to the trailhead but road chained off. Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest – Current Conditions is supposed to have current conditions, and you can also call the North Bend ranger station 425 888 1421. However they all claim the road is open but it was clearly chained off. Grrr. Try again next weekend.

Snow
Posted by john in Uncategorized on December 21st, 2008
OK it was all cute and everything the first day and we got some nice pictures. But now I’ve had enough. A frozen pipe. A tree that failed under the weight of all the snow. An epic driving trip to the airport last night. Time to move on.
Oh and huge thanks to all those who didn’t take snow days and kept on keeping the world running. Our paper arrived every day. The mailman was always here. Our lights, heat, water, phone, TV, internet service all worked like champs. The roads were plowed. UPS showed up. Grocery always open. Starbucks usually open. And many many more — hats off to everyone.

I didn’t know about these guys — Island Express Charters, San Juan Islands, Washington. I’ve used Paraclete a lot. If you don’t need a car on the islands, way faster and more convenient than the WSF.
