MT. BAKER WILDFLOWERS

First Summertime backpacking trip to Northern Washington. Over the years I've been to this area many times in the Winter and this late July trip was polar opposite of what life is like for me in the Winter...warm, peaceful, slow, quiet.

I met a guy who lives in the woods, literally lives in the woods. A few days later I went to his camp...I'll always remember how clean and tidy it was.

I might print this one up for myself. I was in a really good place in life, not to say it isn't now, but to have centerdness 24/7 is really hard/impossible and this five day trip was peaceful and flowing.
