||
| Hiking Mt St. Benedict We finally did it, after several attempts and others problems we finally were able to get going on our hike up Mt. St. Benedict! |

||
| Lindeman Lake A lovely day and location for a first hike of the season |
||
| Upper Silver Skagit Road Nine years ago was my last visit, and then only a quick drive through to Ross Lake. So today's adventure was all brand new exploration. |
