This recreation area is nestled in the fertile valleys outside of the town of Sedro-Woolley at the foot of the North Cascades. It was a state asylum "farm" that was in operation from 1909 until 1973, when most of the property was closed and later turned over to become a recreation area filled with hiking/walking trails and a disc golf course. You can explore the remains of the old dairy buildings near the parking lot, or you can walk further afield and find a few more ruins sprinkled around the property, namely old electrical sheds and a creepy pump house. For a somewhat sunny December hike with no snow, this was an easy choice. It is actually more strolling than hiking, considering that the majority of the trails are old road beds and there is no elevation gain. There are some pretty areas that feel more "wild" if you follow the main road/trail and bypass the bridge that leads to the area of the hospital that is still in use. Back here, we found a prett...

I haven't talked much about my views on education here, in this space. It's odd really. I've raised two kids, after all. Now, thanks to the pandemic, it seems everyone is schooling at home (which, by the way, is completely different from homeschooling). We were/are radical homeschoolers. The older kid is already an adult and off on his own. We must not of screwed him up too bad, because he's on scholarships and already has one degree under his belt (received at the ripe ol' age of 18) and is halfway through his next degree. And yes, these degrees are from actual colleges. The second kid would be a sophomore if he went to the local school. In truth, I couldn't tell you what grade level he is at. He could probably compete with any high school or community college graduate on even footing, and likely could do better than most. The hardest part about homeschooling is finding shit that isn't full of fake crap because of religion. It seems that if you are...
