It's been about four months since I posted last. The winter has been long up here in the northwest and I haven't been out and about much. I did get out a couple of days this week to wander, however, and I took few photos to share.
Sunday I drove up to Paradise to check out how much snow was still there and made a few stops on the way.
This shot is at the mineral springs in Longmire. The PM2 is sitting on the rim of an old mineral bath.
Further up, the road crosses over Van Trump Creek.
Here's another creek closer to Paradise.
We had sun, rain and even a little light snow on our way and finally made it to Paradise. There wasn't much to see here besides the snow and clouds. Here' a shot of the one exposed entrance to the visitor's center.
On Tuesday I decided to try my hand at hunting for Morels. I've never foraged for Morels before and so far I haven't had any luck.
I did find a couple of varieties of false Morels but one I know is poisonous and the other I don't know enough about.
You don't see these out and about in the middle of the day very often.
Another creek...
and another with a Stretch.

We were up to almost 3000 ft on the forest service roads down here in the Gifford Pinchot and there were just a few patches of snow left. This is encouraging because I thought there would be a lot more. :) :spyder:

Thanks Dan! I definitely think you should go for a hike. :)
The tree bark has actually been harvested by one of the local Native American tribes. They use the bark to make baskets, hats and other textiles. These trees can be found throughout the forest and some are very old. It doesn't seem to hurt the trees at all.

Well, this thread has been savaged by PhotoBucket's new policies and I don't plan to cave to their extortion. The only thing left to do is post more photos.
Here's a shot a took on Monday when I took a quick hike after work.
Angel Falls (I wasn't going to post this because there was a similar photo previously posted but it's gone now. :mad: )
Here's a couple I took while at work today.
Meadow filled with lupine.
PM2 and lupine.
