On one hand, I'm so thankful to have visited Yosemite last summer during a calm, protected period. But that makes the incompetence happening right now under Trump even harder to take. We as voters intentionally chose this self-destructive behavior.

Me getting fancy beef jerky for Christmas putting it in my bear can for a backpacking trip later & attaching the new sticker I got to the lid.

My resolutions this year include starting a comprehensive list of backpacking trips To Do. Both with my daughter & solo.
I thought I had our summer all planned, but I've been lured by other possibilities. SEKI is the frontrunner but Olympic NP & Mount Rainier are both calling pretty hard rn.
