Took Dave snowboarding... Beer. Dave in beer. Beer. Beer. Snowboarding. Beer. Gun. Beer. Dave in beer again. Alcoholic. Beer. Fireball Whiskey. Beer. DAVE: I'm not an alcoholic; I'm just Australian! ...
Superbowl Sunday
I go snowboarding by myself to give Mitch and Karen some alone time. After a couple of hours I stop and realise that Superbowl is on. Let's see, I have no interest in watching football but I am a little sister whose older brother does have interest. So I ...

Canada to Snoqualmie Pass
... for us ragged-looking PCT'ers. I even met a nice girl named Brittany that I believe sent me a surprise package to Snoqualmie Pass. Possibly food? I'll find out tomorrow. Thanks ahead of time! The next section from Stehekin to Stevens Pass lies partly in ...
My bad knee :(
I went snowboarding with the intention of pushing myself to the next level. This meant increasing my speed down the mountain. I didn't want to just traverse, slowdown and traverse again anymore. So I decided I’d face my board diagonally down the ...
A free night in the parking lot
... drove out to the Casino and parked for the night in their lot. Tuesday we drove to Fall City and put the trailer in Snoqualmie River RV park for a day. They were really nice and allowed us a late check out so we could take Patti to her ...

Snowboard lesson 1 Mitch, Karen and I attended a first timers lesson in Snowboarding. This was conducted at a place called the magic carpet. So the basics, first… how to tie snowboard laces properly, second… flat feet, third… heel edge, ...
A slice of American pie in Snoqualmie

Free private lesson (aka snowboarding w/ a friend)
Boarding with Jamie was amazing. He was super-supportive and gave me some really awesome advice. Mostly, it was really amazing to just learn to control the snowbaord in super icy conditions. I learned how to carve much better than I was and I also ...
Snowboard lesson 2
Mitch and Karen had their second lesson. I worked on learning to stop by asking the magic carpet lift operator for advice. He was very helpful and after a few goes I became bored of the magic carpet. I wanted to go to a faster slope! I had lost track ...
Goodbye Snoqualmie
Karen, Mitch and I made good use of our last few days at the mountains… we snowboarded every day (so basically what I'd been doing most of the time anyway). We also tried to challenge ourselves (without hurting ourselves) by doing things like black ...
Fri-Day Snowboard; Fri-Night Band
Mitch, Karen and I board for about 5 or 6 hours and have a great time. What can I say, being a snowboarder is soooo much fun! During this time I was also really looking forward to the live band that was going to be playing at Whiskey Pete's, and at the ...
Hello Snoqualmie
... always holds the door open for women. Karen seems to enjoy his prowess in the sack! Back to the point, we left Seattle towards Snoqualmie! YAY! I began to get worried because when I rented the house I had no idea about the snow season and while I did do ...
The adventure night!
Due to my knees I took an extra day off Snowboarding; at 5pm Courtney returned from the slopes and mentioned that we were meeting up at Whiskey Pete's at 5:30. Courtney is Mitch’s ...
Quacky Quack and the Mama Llama
Pass through this gate and your life will never be the same again. Plenty of quarters? Buy some corn and feed everything that walks, hops, or flies. Turkey gobblers and bunny rabbits. Goats and a mean-eyes donkey, stomping his foot when he didn't get ...
Life goes on...
Gluttonous sloth Every now and then you need to just chill out. I had a fist-sized purple/red/blue bruise on my hip and decided it was time to just give myself a rest. I also didn't really like the icy conditions even though it makes you get better ...
Falls and Falling
You do get what you ask for - I wanted Fall and the colorful leaves and golden landscapes, but forgot that it goes along with shorter days and falling temperature!! Usually rain too! I got it all these last few days. Good thing that I am so interested in ...
Snowfall
We prepared for Mitch and Karen's third lesson, which I planned to tag along with again. It had snowed an extreme amount, a minimum of half a meter, the night before. When we arrived at the Summit we found out that the Pass had closed (the road to the ...
Packing and getting everything in order...
Well, Simon and I are getting ready to go and pretty much everything is done. It has been an interesting experience so far. We typically bring two suitcases each for a two week trip but this time for a six week trip are only allowed one suitcase ...
New friends at Vasa Park
... strongly to others. Met new people and last night it felt good to have people visit Lexie. Getting help with how to get to Snoqualmie River RV Campground today - my sense of direction is so bad! Liked starting to read "Glass Hooves" by Marni - I hope ...

Snoqualmie Falls

Home Safe
Hello to all- After two very long flights I arrived home safely on Thursday evening. I had about an 8 hour lay-over in London before my flight to Seattle so I ventured into the city which was fun. I was in London for a few days the summer of 2004 but the ...
Snoqualmie Falls
Don't know why, but Snoqualmie Falls never gets old and it is always a good place to bring people to. So we stopped by Snoqualmie Falls, and there are a lot of water because it was raining yesterday. Took some pictures. We are going back now and probably ...
Snoqualmie Falls
Snoqualmie Falls is pretty crowded. A lot of people are around. We went all the way down to the bottom. The slope to go down is pretty steep. After we arrived at the lower observation deck, we climbed down to the water side. A lot of people are ...
Back to the Philippines
Hello to All! As most of you know I am heading back to the Philippines where I lived from March of 2006-August of 2008 as a Peace Corps Volunteer. If you followed my blogs during those years you may remember hearing about my wonderful host family, The ...
Waterfalls and cottonballs
(Benny would like you to know that is his clever headline). We had expected Salish Lodge & Spa to be in a remote location next to a waterfall, based on the pictures. We found that it was actually along a busy highway and about two feet from the ...
