North Cascades National Park

I am happy to report that my skin cancer surgery was a success … and now I can say that I am once again CANCER FREE! It only took one pass to get all of my Basal Cell Carcinoma last Thursday … and one week later, I am back at the parks, with my bounty of stitches hidden beneath my beloved trucker hat.

Hello North Cascades National Park, so very nice to see you again in all of your beauty!

And photos from my first visit …

Sometimes, it is essential to paw through the past to confirm your participation … and sometimes ex-boyfriends are included for photographic proof. My brother Troy lives in Bellingham, WA and on a trip to visit him, we day hiked at North Cascades National Park. Troy is the one who taught me to love the lands and to go out and explore in our parks. I am, and will forever be, grateful to him for this beautiful gift!
