Global Warming!

What a summer it has been in our corner of the world, but our walkers and hikers commented time and again about the lack of water, lack of snow and unusually warm days.  Some good news is that the Curtis Glacier is still there on the western slope of Mount Shuksan  Amy shared pictures from the hike to Lake Ann.

Busy Hiking Day on Mt Baker

 June 30th: Hikers hit the trails at Mt Baker for wildflowers, lakes, waterfalls, a little snow, fabulous vistas and marmots – but no mountain goats.

WF at Work - Thanks for Pitching In!
Thanks for pitching in!
Walking Friends pitched in to spread mulch along the trail near Harris Street & Padden Creek’s entry to the bay where the invasive ivy had been removed.  Thank you to Dianne Davis for for organizing the project with the Parks Department who supplied all equipment and the big load of mulch.
 Thanks to Elaine Cress for photographing the work party.
