Backyard Adventure
Saturday the gf, dogs, and I decided to go for a little trip in and around our neighborhood.
First stop: Van Zandt Dike in Acme, WA (~ 12 miles from home) This is about 9300 acres of State Trust Land. A couple of Hemlock clear cuts and beautiful meadows.
Too bad I didn't have my camera 2 weeks ago when there were pink blooms covering the clear-cut areas. I don't know what they are called so if someone more knowledgable wants to chime in I'd appreciate it
One of said clear-cut areas. Look close enough and you can see the pink I am talking about
GF and one of our dogs walking up the logging road
Stand of Hemlocks. Notice some :censored: left target garbage on burn pile
I think I'm looking south here
The view if you were falling this Hemlock
Some community / farms about half-way down (gives you an idea of how high up we were)

En route to an old-growth stand along Mt. Baker Highway we stopped roadside to take a picture of the area leading to Nooksack Falls
Weather is starting to get a little nicer
I wish I could add a .wav of the sound of the river / falls and some how upload the smell of Douglas Fir so you could realize how truly amazing this was
This area is in the neighborhood of ~30 miles from home.

~2 miles from the old growth stand is a park with amazing views of Mt. Shuksan.
too bad it was a little cloudy up there
another view. nooksack river btw
for some reason i was drawn to this meadow atop this mountain (behind me when I was taking the above 2 pics)
the funny thing about the nooksack river is that the hotter the outside temperature, the colder the water seems to be.
north fork is a LOT colder than the south fork. south fork is swimmable, north fork; not so much. Van Zandt Dike is where this river forks.
it was 80'ish degrees so we decided to go wading in the nooksack this day. That was plenty cold. Reminds me of the time i went up to mount rainier one july and jumped in the glacial river. have not jumped in one since...
down by the river. no van.
it doesn't look like it but the water gets to ~10 feet here. CRYSTAL CLEAR

TinyPic is hit or miss. I uploaded to one place so that I could share with others and realize now I should've stuck with Flickr.
Yeah, sweet pea likes dogs more than men. Don't take it personal; she can't even really stand me!

That's when you go to another place to see what's in someone elses backyard, but it's less than yours, costs a lot more, and you come home so tired you need to take a few days off to recover.
