Treasure Hunt, Part 3
Mt Konocti Park trail
I didn’t quite make it to the top of Mt Konocti, but it was still a great adventure and one of the best hikes I’ve ever done. Hopefully I’ll get another chance before too long.
Memory Monday slides redux, Week 40

When I originally shared these images back in April 2017, I wrote about some of the history of Leavenworth’s transition from a dying former railroad town to a tourist mecca; but it’s […]
