Wallace Falls

Alexandra and I are just back from Wallace Falls in Wallace Falls State Park near Gold Bar, Washington. I just bought a new pair of hiking boots and wanted to try them out. The worked great, much better than the old ones.




These power lines gave off a very nice buzz, hum, crackle, and even an occasional pop.



Check out the falls in action.

Taking Tiger Mountain by strategy

The West Tiger Trail #3 is approximately 3 miles long and gains 2000 feet. When you get to the top you have to turn around and come back down the same amount. The whole trip took me over three hours - I wasn't rushing - and on the way I saw a lot of people with dogs, little brown birds, a big yellow slug, and even a work crew clearing brush from the trail. There was also an old man with a lot of white, furry chest hair who ran the whole thing and made me feel weak and feeble.


When I got back I found out that the soles of my boots had fallen apart - notice the holes in the heels.
