biochembelle November 14, 2021

“Journey” feels like a truly appropriate term. If you follow us elsewhere, you may recall I first registered for a 50 miler late in 2019, scheduled for… May 2020. That was of course canceled due to COVID. I recognized then …

Trail Report: Lake 22.

geneday May 20, 2020

Lake 22 is one of Washington’s most famous alpine lakes. It ranks up there with Lake Colchuck for drama, beauty, and crowds. It’s much closer to Seattle that Colchuck is, and the approach is easier too. So it truly does …
