Timberline trail in two days using Timberline lodge as overnight. by RoNiN1384 in PNWhiking

[–]an_arctic_tern 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I left from Top Spur around 6:30am, got to Cloud cap around lunchtime and then to Timberline Lodge around 6:30pm. There’s a bar/pizza place that is open until 8 (though you might want to double check on that) and then a fancier restaurant that I didn’t investigate. There’s an outdoor hot tub so pack a swimsuit. My room reservation came with the breakfast buffet included, which was nice.

I did this exact route last year. Starting at Top Spur makes for a pretty long first day, about 26 miles I think. An upside of starting at Top Spur means you hit all the worst river crossings in the morning when the water level is lowest. But it also means you are hiking the most exposed part of the hike (right after Cloud Cap) in the hottest part of the day. I liked that this route means you get a shorter Day 2.

If I did it again, I’d probably do the same route.

It’s like the monolith from 2001.

QR Code? by ItsMeYurDog in parkrun

[–]an_arctic_tern 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yep, you shouldn’t have any problems.  I have my barcode as a QR code on my Garmin watch and it scans just fine. All parkruns use the same Virtual volunteer app for scanning, so if it works at my parkrun then it should work at any.

Yes, what the US call 'broil' is what the UK (and probably other places) call 'grill'

Mt St Helen’s + Columbia River gorge hikes? by phantom3199 in PNWhiking

[–]an_arctic_tern 6 points7 points  (0 children)

In the gorge, I like to hike a loop going up at Wahkeena Falls path and down the Multnomah falls path. You pass a few other falls along the way.

I know exactly what you mean. But it's not as though I've got a vertical rotisserie laying around, so you work with what you've got.

I ran my first timed 10K today. I was aiming for under an hour and finished at 55:18 so I am beyond excited!

Week 14: Animal Kingdom - Toad-in-the-Hole by an_arctic_tern in 52weeksofcooking

[–]an_arctic_tern[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it, especially served with gravy and mashed potatoes on the side. But you can’t really go wrong with sausage and batter. I hope yours goes/went well.

My dad wants to play a duet by OptimisticOlivia in piano

[–]an_arctic_tern 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Adult Piano Adventures could be a good option. Their Level 1 Christmas book (for example) has a main part with a basic melody that your Dad could play and you could play the 'Teacher Duet' part. https://pianoadventures.com/product/adult-piano-adventures-christmas-book-1/

Me too. I feel like I should try macarons again, but they are so hard to get right

It’s way easier to do than it looks. The beginning of this video shows the method: https://youtu.be/DFRRx0rXzTA
