I am continuing to post shots of the North Fork Skokomish area of the Olympic National Park near Staircase. Regular readers may recognize the area from many of my previous posts and remember that I have hiked this favorite area dozens of times. I am sharing these now because everything they show has been burnt in the Bear Gulch fire in the last week or two. I remain in mourning.




I’m sorry about this fire and so many more happening elsewhere. The number of fires is crazy now, even in Europe.
Thank you John.
Yes, such devastation
The fires this year have been so numerous and so punishing, too. All those beautiful trees …
Yes, such a great loss
