Kissing salamanders

We came upon some kissing salamanders during a lovely hike to the land bridge at olalla lake Friday evening. The water felt almost swimable! Summer is almost here! Yay!

We had some extra days off the other week (aka, vacation). As usual, we love to stop along the way while road tripping to check out the parks and trails along the way. A lot of the parks were still closed for the winter season, which is awesome for us, then we get the whole park to ourselves.

Above is the view of the river access from a sweet campsite. The campsites always look better when they are empty though :)

And there were trilliums everywhere!

Hillbilly road trip

My grandma really wanted to go to the monthly community club meeting. She has been getting up less and less, so everyone thought it would wear her out just getting her out of her chair and into a car seat. So we got her down there the hillbilly way......just loaded her into the back of the truck and headed out!
(in the picture below, the orange strap was only added for special effects:)
She made it the few miles down the road the few miles without any problems, plus it was very entertaining for everyone watching. She had a great time.

Pretty spring day

Apparently, the beach access at work was getting a little too complicated for some...... So I spent my morning watching Ryan, the beach ranger cut up some of the logs that were in the way.

I couldn't help but notice what a pretty day it was on the Oregon coast. I haven't been to the beach much lately, which is embarrassing to admit, since my office is like 500 feet from it!
