Eastern Washington Adventure!

So this Memorial Day weekend Eric and I decided to take a longer day and head across the Cascades and check out a desert hike in Central Washington. One location had been recommended to me by a coworker and it was short enough that I found a second hike in the same area so we planned on doing two. And then, even better, I found there was a Petrified Forest State Park on the way too so with that our itinerary was decided on!

This was a trip of epic proportions and I have a LOT of photographs, including the progression of our travel across the Cascades.

Middle Fork Snoqualmie River: Upstream

We headed back out and braved the potholed road of DOOM again for an easy 6 mile hike along the middle fork of the Snoqualmie River. I thought it was going to rain today (so did the local weathermen) but Seattle gave us the finger and provided a cloud ceiling, glimpses of sun and NO RAIN! It was a lovely hike :D

Heather Lake

Today promises to be a wet, rainy day, but we're persisting and chose what looks to be a nice hike up to a lake! There might even be snow so it'll be an adventure.

And now updating... boy oh boy was there snow....

South Whidbey State Park Camp and Hike

Yes, that's right, you read the title correctly. The post for May 8 actually will be encompassing both May 7 and May 8 and Eric and I, along with our friend Nick, decided to test out some of our camping gear and do some car camping!
