It usually so snowed in, it's a late summer early fall hike

Shi Shi beach! Not in skagit but..... orcas is pretty sweet, lots of hiking and backpacking on the back side in Moran park plus the view from my constitution is hard to beat.....

You could always just get a cell phone signal jammer :devil: my dad did that to my step sis... he got so fed up with her constantly yappin and facebookin he just made the entire neighborhood a dead zone...then again she is 31 and thinks she is 16 and still lives at home and doesn't work
