Grand Ridge Rain Hike

We were going to do a couple of other hikes, but the snow is pretty darn low and enough of it to keep us in Regional Parks a little while longer. Grand Ridge is a wonderful park and it is even cooler now that they added in a new 2.4 mile loop. The trail makers did an amazing job. We were able to enjoy a lovely NW hike with lots of green, the moss was especially amazing in the RAIN. At least the temps are a little warmer now and we did not get cold! Bonus! Not too many hikers, bikers or runners out enjoying the rain with us though!

Seattle is a Beautiful Place to Workout all Year Long

Even though the weather has been colder and snowier than normal, Seattle is still a wonderful place to workout all year long.

The Golden Gardens stairs are new and improved, even though they are still a challenge to go up in the middle of a 6 or 8 mile run/walk. Thanks to Jennifer for the stair photos. The mountain beaver digging up bulbs was a mixture of delight in seeing her, but a drag the newly planted flowers will not bloom now. Chris knew what this lively little animal was.

And check out the sign that is popping up all over Seattle!!!!!
