My dog is my child. As such, he is spoiled rotten, especially when it comes to gear to take him on adventures!

Chain Lakes Loop
August 2022 was the month of stunning, brand-new hikes for me–I went three for three!
Park Butte
My August of checking hikes off my wish list (and 100 Classic Hikes in Washington’s list!) continues!
Shi Shi Beach
Mama Boots had dreamed of hiking Shi Shi Beach for years–she called it a bucket list hike. We finally ventured out to see it for ourselves!
Terramar Brewstillery
While Bellingham has a bevy of breweries, just south a brewery, distillery, speakeasy, and even some history all await you in Bow!
Lizard/Lily Lake
The mission: Find an easy backpacking trip that would be both close to home and not crowded. We managed to luck out with all three!
Perrygin Lake Trail
As mentioned last week, I spent ten days in beautiful Winthrop, WA dogsitting for my in-laws. I decided to treat all three dogs to a stroll at Perrygin Lake State Park. If you think a novice should be walking three dogs at once, don’t.
Lewis Butte
As I wilt in the heat today, it’s hard to believe what a bleak spring we had. Even a Winthrop day in May was grey and mild, as hard as it can be to believe!
Biscayne National Park
If I thought Everglades was low on trails, I was in for an even bigger surprise with Biscayne: Only 5% of this park is on land!
Everglades National Park
I learned in April how very different Washington’s National Parks are from Florida’s–there’s hardly any hiking! But these parks are still very worth an other-wordly visit.
