I’m hanging out at the famous Blue Pool this morning eating lunch and drying out my tent. It rained a bit while I slept but was only misting by the time I was packing up. I’ve already covered a large portion of the trail last night and this morning. This trail is a gem, I love it out here. I believe the waterfall corridor is next. Just a quick post, more photos to come.
😅49 year young and Rollin' Out at the Malden Fitness Court!
🚀This "Roll Out" might look easy, but don't be fooled! It's an eccentric exercise that targets your abs, lats, and requires breath control along with core strength to maintain a neutral spine.
✅There are exercise variations to accommodate ALL fitness levels!
📣Let's move! Your body will thank you for the amazing benefits of physical activity. 🧑🏽🦽👟🏊🏽♂️🚴🐾
The sound of the sea, the kiss of mist, rocks underneath my feet: I wander through Nature's remote places -- not in a hurry, not in a rush -- and find solace from the raucous sounds of strife that modern life calls reality.
But here, this is reality, one that I would like to learn more about, and wonder over, and simply be in.
Mount Hood looks stunning from up here on Table Mountain. I was informed by a frankly terrified-looking day hiker that black bears were seen up here last night. I’m proceeding with caution and will update you if I encounter them. 🐻🗻☀️
I’m really enjoying the views of Mount Adams. One of my goals this summer is to backpack near the volcano. I fell in love with it on the peak of Old Snowy. If you didn’t know it’s mid-May you would think it’s summer. I had a great time meeting and camping with @intrepidhero. We didn’t see the aurora per se but we saw a late night greenish sky. Felt lighter out.
I explored the unmaintained Two Chiefs Trail on the way out of the forest. Saw some unique views of Table Mountain from the south. Had to turn back at Greenleaf Creek because there was no way to cross without getting soaked. It was great to be back out exploring new areas along the PCT.
