We got a rare, clear view of Mt. Olympus from a high elevation last weekend. Blue Glacier is also making an appearance in this photo. From summitpost.org -- "Despite being a significant mountain both regionally and nationally, few people ever even see Mount Olympus. The mountain is located towards the west-central region of the Olympic Mountains, surrounded by other hills and peaks. These peaks also obstruct views of Mount Olympus from every major city on and around the Olympic Peninsula. The best places to see the mountain, outside of its own approach, are from atop other nearby peaks and ridges in the Olympic Mountains, or away from shore along the Pacific Ocean. But even from these favorable viewing locations, Mount Olympus is commonly covered with clouds and being hit by storm systems. The standard approach mostly follows the Hoh River Trail, which traverses through the Hoh Rainforest. This is significant because the Hoh Rainforest averages 141 to 165 inches (360 to 420 cm) of precipitation per year, which when it reaches the upper slopes of Mount Olympus is usually in the form of snow. The mountain also supports six active glaciers. Weather and conditions along the summit approaches change frequently, making many summit attempts (and pre-planning for such attempts) fail before they even truly begin." . . . . . . . #olympicpeninsula #imaginarymagnitude #northwestlife #pnw #naturelovers #mountains #mountainlife #travel #neverstopexploring #getoutside #wildernessmatters #wildernessculture #washingtonslastfrontier #explorewashington #beauty @olympic_nps

“Look at the Scotch, with their oatmeal porridge, as robust a set of men as ever lived. A Highlander will scale mountains all day upon a diet of oatmeal stirred in water fresh from a gurgling spring with his finger, in a leather cup.” [Robinson, Solon, How to Live, Saving or Wasting, or Domestic Economy Illustrated, 1860] #washingtonslastfrontier #recipes #oldways #heritage #ancestors #traditional #westonaprice #nourishingtraditions #health #food #breakfast #scottish #highlander #ancestral
* THE SUNDAY POSTCARD * I haven't been using Instagram much, so... It's time for personalized emails. Rather than sending out automated blog posts, I've decided to take a new direction with a Sunday Postcard. This will be a simple newsletter that goes out every Sunday. Inside it, you will find news of our doings and goings-on and progress, as well as any adventures and projects we've been up to, photos, recommended readings, and general musings. This format feels more real to me, and I think it'll be a great way to stay focused on the goals while we are over in western Washington preparing our lifestyles for homesteading in the wilderness.

Hello everyone~ First of all, I want to say a big thank you to those of you who have followed along on this journey so far. I know you were probably expecting more to happen and sooner, but as life goes… priorities shift and we have to make the best decisions we can. An update of sorts, new on the blog. Link in bio

I have become wary of laying out plans for the future, because not only do people hold you to those plans, and the plans rarely go as planned, but setting expectations also creates room for disappointments. . So I’m learning more and more to have a *loose idea* but to expect inevitable variations to occur. . Life is forever evolving and often is not so straightforward as to abide by our mathematical planning on calendars and calculators... . A new blog post update for you :) . . . . . . #washingtonslastfrontier #explorewashington #homesteading #offgrid #pacificnorthwest #northwestisbest #olympicpeninsula #travel #life #wildernessliving #northwestlife #stories #goals #washingtonstate #blogger
