We had two days of brilliant sun with blue skies and very little wind. The difference between the two attempts is interesting. On our...

  • I'm in love with Ellinor

    Not another woman, just the mountain on the south end of the Olyimpics in Washington State. So often Mount Ellinor has behaved like a coy school girl for me.
