This is Burt, he is one of the outdoor kitties we feed. We’re hoping to bring him inside soon though.

How’s Burt doing?
Pretty happy, but we want to get him to a vet for a check up.
I got back from a 40 mile hike on Thursday. The hike was in the Cascade mountains and had a total of 10,177 feet elevation gain.
I am on day 3 of my (somehow sustained) natural high, and wondering how long endorphins last. Being sore is so much fun when you’ve earned it.
Bike hike or foot hike?
Foot. Biking would be exceptionally dangerous on the steep trails I was on. Although there are no rangers in wilderness areas so there’s no one to stop people from trying.
Did you do climbing or just walking, is there big danger to fall? I never been at cascade mountains only at normal one
I was on trails the entire hike. I have yet to do any of the style of rock climbing that people do with ropes, harnesses, and helmets, but I might look into that when I’m ready for it. I do some lighter/easier rock climbing without equipment occasionally, like ridgelines, which do have some danger of falling.
The Cascades aren’t too different from a range like the Rockies, except there are more volcanoes and you start at a lower elevation. I do snowshoeing in the winter when the avalanche risk isn’t too great. Rainforest trails are accessible year round but are crowded in the summer, so I do those in other seasons. The PNW is just stupid gorgeous.
