An Ugly Sight in a Beautiful Campground
Flowing Lake, Snohomish, WA, site #4 Campground||Snohomish and Skykomish (Coast Salish) land It’s been a while!

Late Autumn Visit to Lorien
Location: Outskirts of Lorien Date: November 5th-7th, 2018 Activity: Camping! Ended up being a pretty uneventful camping trip due to the cold, but we had some fun anyway!
