2018/12/09: 2018/12/09: A hike up to Nesika Lodge. The area is still officially closed but Nesika had permission for a members hike allowing entry into the area. A bit cold and Icy, the howling cold wind at Bickle Point was something else! Lovely and toasty inside the Lodge though with both fires going and a pot of hot soup for all! © Chiyoko Meacham

2018/12/02: Continuing are explorations of the newly reopened Western Gorge we hiked up to Larch Mt from Multnomah Falls & back. We hit snow at around 3000', no panoramic views but great to be back on Larch Mt. About 14.5 miles & 4100' of EG. We made it to the top at the same time as a bunch of other folks did!

Then we headed over to the Seattle Center for a quick out and back on the monorail followed by a visit to the Chihuly Glass Museum. Before heading back home we made one final stop at the Capitol Hill Katsu Burger!
Good Friends at the Moon & Sixpence!
2018/11/17: An early Birthday celebration for me at the best pub in Portland!
2018/10/26: My marathon EU nursery tour allowed for about 3 free evening hours in Paris. Setting off from Gare du Nord at about 8:00pm I walked the couple of miles to Notre Dame passing the Centre Georges Pompidou on the way. After crossing the Seine I took the Metro to the Eiffel Tower. Big changes and lots of security since I was last there! About 11:00pm I caught an Uber ride back to the Hotel near Gare du Nord in time for some sleep before our early morning train to Cologne.
Crossing the Great Boiling Valley!
2018/09/26 "The Great Boiling Valley" of Owakundai. Greatly changed and restricted since our last visit due to a 2015 eruption.
