This week's adventure: Mount Baker, at Heather Meadows. There was too much snow for hiking - the trail was covered with several feet of snow still. So we took photos, walked in the snow a bit, and then drove back down the mountain. We stopped off for small hikes on the way back

Who needs a cure for the coming could when you can have a vaccine for it... and a variety of other coronaviruses? Wow. I hope this becomes available someday
