A hike in the North Cascades National Park...

Federal government shutdown be damned - ain't nothing stopping us from the Maple Pass loop.

Here we are heading up the North Cascades Highway towards Washington Pass...

Going clockwise up the Maple Pass loop hike - a little snow, no big deal...

Okay, four feet of snow...  We turned around and headed back down...

Damn you, Federal Government ; )

Last Summer and this Summer...

The garage and the house...

Hunting season begins soon...

And unless he figures it out quickly, he's not going to make it very difficult for those drunk and lazy drive-by hunters...
