They have a rowing regatta and then a big parade of boats. Pretty fun to watch, all things considered.

It's been awhile, eh? Almost 3 weeks it looks like.

I realize I've fallen way behind in posting pictures and linking to them. I'll try to do one set a day till I'm done. The first set is the oldest one, which I just got around to posting (because I lost 'em :).

Brett started another blog recently -- Brett on Stuff -- and has some great posts already.

Ultralight gear list -- I've definitely been reducing my weight over the last few years, but this takes it to a whole new level. I'd like to try getting serious about it someday.

Trip report: North Cascades loop -- Looks like a great loop hike off highway 542. Turns out we were about 6 miles from the trailhead (as the crow flies) on Saturday when we were up at Artist Point.
