PNW hiking, wine, D&D and other random things.
Seems the only fire is that big ball in the sky.

Post you from a different era. 40ish years ago, I thought I was straight and "nomal" with bit of diagnosed depression.

I grew up in a snow state. I came to the Pacific Northwest to not have snowy winters. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed the thick, deep silence after a snow covered forest.

A bit of snow up on Mt. Hood this morning. We headed back home just as the bomb cyclone was arriving.

From Central Oregon back to PDX was a fantastic drive.

I love when the clouds in the Columbia River Gorge hang out and cover the trails with a cool mist.

The Pacific is a place of solace for us.

I had a 60s copy of the Hobbit from my dad, then worked into his copies of the trilogy. As a gift I received on my 10th birthday, the Rankin-Bass illustrated version of the hobbit.

One of my absolute favorite things is to hike when the rain comes, and then the sun peeks through.

While my mapmaking is not spectacular, it does let my world live and breathe. It also allows me to work through trauma and FND (functional neurological disorder).

Another favorite place it the Portland International Rose Test Garden. The amount of color is magical.

Wahclella Falls is a fantastic short hike mostly along white water.

The Pacific Ocean - They say it has no memory. That's where I'd live the rest of my life.

Did I mention hiking? The PNW is a place of dramatic beauty and joy. This is Drift Creek Falls.

I also do maps. They are an excellent way to cope with my cptsd and adhd.
