The week after I got back to Bellingham Katie was still around and invited me to go hiking with her and the Goldsberrys up Heliotrope Ridge Trail to see Coleman glacier and Mount Baker. It was a gorgeous day for a trek up the mountain. I had never gone up Baker (aside from some snowshoeing) so that was a lot of fun for me. Once again, to make it a bit easier on me, the pictures from the day have been put on my Flickr page so see my Flickr set: Hiking Mt. Baker for some shots from the day (various sizes can, of course, be seen there).

Also, as a side note: Nancy, and anyone else down in Tacoma, Late Tuesday (see their site or my Late Tuesday page for more info and some music) will be headlining at Jazzbones (located here) (with Korby Lenker opening) on Thursday, July 27th. The show starts at 8pm and costs $5. I hope you can make it, it should be a wonderful show!

    What wonderful pictures, Matt! Looks like a beautiful hike.
    Not sure if we will be able to see Late Tuesday as we already have plans but, if at all possible, we will be there!!
    Waiting for the reunion pictures now )
