deer lake

Took a tour trip up the Sol Duc in April. Snow shoes definitely work better over the bumpy terrain. Found a sweet little steep zone next to Deer Lake to get some turns in.

Winter wonderland in the parking lot.

Big trees and little bridges.

Sol Duc Falls.

Low country snowfield means snow in the boots.

Heather switching to skis and skins.

The trail is cozy. The trees are talking to us.

The trail becomes the ditch.

Deer Lake.

High country. Basalt ridges, old trees and snow. Drop in on that.

seeding

After putting some plants in the ground we toss some seed on the ground. Mellow days on the river.

Lake Aldwell, seed's-eye-view.

Teamwork.

Fill your sack and don't spill. Rachele knows.

Hangin' out with the LEKT. AB and Wilson.

Trevor, spreading his seed.

Misty day of seeding on Lake Mills.

Packing seed, pouring seed.

planting

Winter is the time to get plants in the ground. Energy is stashed in the roots as they establish themselves in the soil. The trick is keeping your hands warm and mind occupied.

Lake Mills.

Small crew, big reservoir.

Tools of the trade.

Givin' the trees some love.

White Pine.

jazz

Got to tag along with a guy who knows how to navigate the old logging and forest service roads around Port Angeles. He shreds through the conifers on his dirt bike doing wheelies in fourth gear, takes a break at an old hunting cabin, and boosts some stylish airs on "small" jumps. Can't wait to see the big ones. Jazz the ripper.

mogley

Mogley lives with his wife in a cabin on some land just west of Joyce. Often times he can be found at twin river beach picking up rocks, rescuing fossils, and looking for hitches to town. A true ambassador of the beach, all smiles, all the time. Today was his barter day, six pounds of coffee for who knows what.
