Elk Loop

These creeks ‘n puddles ain’t gonna stomp themselves.

Just a quickie lil elk loop today. I expected a lot more rain. I saw one dude coming down off Elk, otherwise nobody until I was back near the parking lot. Very fun loop! The water is warm. This is definitely a warm storm. The creeks are pretty high. They’re expected to get a lot higher. I love stomping around in Elk Creek when it’s warm. There is so much going on in the forest when the creeks are flowing. As wonderful as the other seasons are, there is something about getting outside in the PNW when it’s wet that can’t be beat. The rewards are there.

Today’s song is Aua Atu Rā from Marlon William’s Māori-language album, Te Whare Tīwekaweka. Checkout Marlon’s work. He’s phenomenal.
