Port Townsend

We spent the weekend in Port Townsend, WA just for the hell of it. We rented a cabin in the woods just on the outskirts of town near the water. We hiked to Fort Worden State Park, a 19th Century military fort and played on the beach. Oliver rode his first ferry boat, which he loved. We had a great and relaxing weekend away from home.

Trail building

Oliver and I helped build a new hiking trail today on Badger Mtn. in Richland. We carried two buckets of gravel up the hill a short distance to the loading area. Then the real workers will use the gravel this weekend to turn the popular trail into a loop. Right now it's a crowded single track route that you have to go up and back down on. This is exciting for us since this is one of the few non-paved hiking trails close to us. Oliver did great! He kept adding rocks to our buckets on the way up. Thanks son, you're a real help.Can't help but take a few for himself.

You can see where we started, by the white blob of buckets.
