LOOK WHO'S BACK! 😀.................................. Actifit Report Card: July 23 2023

Look who’s back!😊
“Let’s see how far we can get on today’s hike Liz!”🥰
Neither one of us were sure how far that would be…………..
“Silvertop, what’s with the new “No Trespassing” signs everywhere?”😲
We could hear someone running a string trimmer up ahead…………..
“ It’s probably Adam honey”😊
If you recall Adam is the son of Mike and Joan, our neighbors.
Joan was the neighbor that passed away just before Christmas
That’s when we heard a car coming towards us……..
The car pulled to a stop next to us, it was Adam!😊
“ Hi guys, I just wanted to let you know that the new no trespassing signs don’t apply to you guys!😇
It turns out Becky and Tim ( that own this private trailhead) are just being extra careful, but she wanted to have Adam inform Silvertop and Liz, that we are always welcome!🤗
“Thanks Adam that’s good to know!”😊
You get sick for a few days and everything changes Lol!🤣
We hiked as far as we dared, It was nice to be back on the trail!🤗
We passed an old Douglas Fir tree, if you look at the third to last photo, you can see a “groove” in the trees bark towards the top of the photo.
This is damage left from loggers wrapping a steel cable around the tree.
They do this to leverage pulling trees off the mountain.
This tree only has light cosmetic damage, but several trees high up in the Mountains have had cables cut so deep into trees that it kills the tree’s
Some unscrupulous loggers will wrap cables onto privately owned land/ trees, I guess they believe no one will care, or catch them!😲
Then it was a drive to the grocery store, both of us were craving a couple of nice juicy burgers, we are still building our strength back!😇
We passed one of the local berry farmers with their harvesters running through the raspberry fields. This machine vibrates and shakes the berries off the bush……… very ingenious!☺️
The summer is passing so quickly, soon it will be time for the Northwest Washington fair!🤗
Can we have a second summer, it’s just starting Lol!😇
Everyone take care, have a great Sunday evening!😊
Till tomorrow Silvertop Mike 😊
