Snowshoeing White Road

cassandra January 31, 2020

Sunday, January 26, 2020 I signed up for my first snowshoe trip with the Mountaineers! Again, before I signed up, I read the trip description and contacted the trip leader. The six-mile round trip had a difficulty rating of “easy” with a 400-foot elevation gain. I emailed the trip leader…

Mountaineers Snowshoe Class

cassandra January 29, 2020

January 2020 I said I would give the Mountaineers a second chance after my disastrous North Fork Sauk River backpacking trip, and I did: I signed up for a snowshoe class. Before I signed up, I made sure to contact the class lead instructor to ensure I would not get…

A Look Ahead

cassandra January 29, 2020

Wednesday, January 22, 2020 As you can see, my switchover to my new domain name, river-song.com, did not take very long. I contacted my hosting service earlier today during my lunch hour, and they had it switched for me in about 15 minutes, including reissuing my SSL certificate and forwarding…

A New Beginning (Again!)

cassandra January 21, 2020

January 20, 2020 Today was a weird day. January 20 always is for me. Sometimes I spend it alone, usually out in the wilderness or on a country road grinding out mile after mile on my bike. And sometimes, I spend it with a group of people, letting them distract…

Nisqually Wildlife Refuge

cassandra January 15, 2020

Sunday, January 12, 2020 I met a friend for a hike at the Billy Frank Jr. National Wildlife Refuge this afternoon. This place holds a special significance in my life: I spent the summer of 1978 helping to restore the Nisqually Delta, as it was known at that time, as…

A Leaky Roof

cassandra January 8, 2020

Friday, December 27, 2019 Tuesday before Christmas, just before heading out to spend the holiday with my son and my ex, I discovered a leak in my roof. Oh, no! Leaky roofs can destroy RVs in no time. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to deal with it. But, fortunately, the…

Trees, Leaves, Seeds, and Vines

cassandra January 4, 2020

Wednesday, January 1, 2020 I spent the first day of the new year out at River Song. The tree trimmer had been out on Monday, and I was eager to see how it looked. He had trimmed the branches on the cedar in the southwest corner and “bucked” the fallen…
