and it was fine except for right as i got here when i had someone yell at me about my mask and another asshole in a big truck blow by everyone else who had stopped at the bike crossing off the trail to the shopping centre hammering his horn at me.
I love the way this tree's roots look as they stretch their way over the mossy rocks and down toward the creek. Gives me a real jungle-y feel, and I really dig that 😁💚
This little spot on Olney Creek was magical in the afternoon light. I was sorely tempted to splash about in the water, but our days are still not warm enough and the water was icy cold 🥶
There's so much to love about the little streams and falls that cross so many PNW trails—from the impressive roar of cascading water to the refreshing aromas stirred up in the churn—but I think my favorite thing is the noticeable dip in temperature as I approach the stream. It always feels like the air on the trail is at least a degree or two cooler at the water, and that's a welcome shift on a strenuous hike or trail run.
Bonus photo! Found this fun stack of 'shrooms growing at the base of a tree's trunk on the Easy 8 trail segment during my run at Lord Hill Regional Park today
