Wonderful time exploring nature this summer with the kids. My personal projects have been lagging a bit due to the time to seize outdoors but satiated for now so I’m feeling the bug to pick up some new projects again!
Mountaineering: romping on some Cascades between CA and OR. Summit of Mt. Hood and Mt. Shasta! Tried for Mt. Rainier but high winds prevented a push for the summit.
Sea Time: I’ve been trying out spearfishing this past year and have appreciated learning more of the lives of these sea creatures. Training my breathhold and efficient swimming have started to garner some Rockfish in the Monterey Kelp forests. It was really fun to snorkel for Crab by hand and avoid getting pinched in Oregon! Foraging for kelp as a side dish was delicious (apparently it’s all edible!) among the rocks and tide pools.
