Fire watch in the North Cascade Mountains of Washington state, in the Ross Lake National Recreation Area. Life up here... peace with my dog Foxfire, serenity, the quiet views. Just an AT hiker class of 2012 passing through!

Happy Thanksgiving. Enjoy family.

I guess there isn't much of a point of wearing a Halloween costume up here. Unless I'm a raccoon.

Field mice carry fleas. I had to give Foxfire a bath today in the stream. I'm covered in flea bites. Ugh

"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived." Thoreau

🐈 At Foxglove Farm in upstate New York, Cinamen the orange tabby doesn’t just lounge—he leads Airbnb guests on Appalachian Trail hikes, keeping them on path and occasionally judging their pace. Who knew a cat could double as a furry concierge? (Upworthy, Backpacker)
