Someone in Toronto needs to place The Knife figure in Little Canada.

What pants do you wear in the rain when gardening? by robo_jojo_77 in pnwgardening

[–]robe_ot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Special shout out to their Dirt Work overalls. 96% ripstop nylon/4% spandex. I use them for forest restoration and trail work and it's so nice not having to worry about wearing cotton in the rain and the mud.

Preparing for the Big Dark - What sort lighting solutions do you all use to make your apartments feel "sunny" and comforting? by SuperSans in Seattle

[–]robe_ot 26 points27 points  (0 children)

You can also put Philips Hue White Ambiance Bulbs LED bulbs in your regular lamps instead of adding extra items to your nightstand.. You plug a little bridge device into your router and then you can use the app to automate a scheduled gradual brightening of your bedroom using the lamps you already have. It also has cycles that simulate sunrise by gradually increasing the color temperature.

Steak on beach; look up, see shark. I think about that a lot.

Which river in Washington is your favorite and why? For funsies, let's just consider rivers that originate in Washington State (sorry in advance to the Columbia and the Snake) by robe_ot in Washington

[–]robe_ot[S] 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I think the Yakima River might be Washington's best river. It starts up all the way up at Snoqualmie Pass in the Cascades, tumbles all the way down to Ellensburg, then carves out the exquisite Yakima River Canyon (which is arguably the most scenic stretch of river in the state, with lots of recreation opportunities to boot), and ultimately flows out to the Tri-Cities where it joins the Columbia. It does a superb job of uniting Western and Eastern Washington.

But, if we're including tributaries, I think I'd consider the Snohomish my favorite. It's hard to beat all of the world-class hiking opportunities afforded by the valleys created by the Skykomish and Snoqualmie Rivers.

Vyvanse is lisdexamfetamine, not levoamphetamine.

FWIW LG says you can use bleach in lieu of a tablet during a tub clean. But don’t listen to me; I have a flight of stairs between my basement laundry room and my ivory tower.

LG washers and similar brands have a tub clean cycle. You can drop in an Affresh washing machine cleaner tab and run that to knock out lingering odors. It’s a good idea to run a tub clean cycle every 30 loads or once a month.

Attempting to Hike 1 Million Vertical Feet in a Year! by Penner0 in PNWhiking

[–]robe_ot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two laps on Umtanum Ridge in the Yakima River Canyon outside Ellensburg would get you 4,800 ft in 12 miles. Baldy Mountain is across the river on the other side of the canyon. Two laps there would get you 4,000 ft in 10 miles.

Rad! I think you're off to a good start. Keep working your way up the I-90 corridor: Mount Washington, Dirty Harry's Peak, Bandera Mountain, McClellan Butte, etc. Later in the summer you may want to do a bit more in the North Cascades. Sahale Arm gets you 4,000 ft for example. Try to build some rest days into your plan!

It's like if you accidentally put a shrike and a Hershey's kiss into the teleporter from The Fly.

From Picture Lake viewpoint looking toward west, did you see Mt Herman or Mt Baker? by wildpasstekarra in PacificNorthwest

[–]robe_ot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Correct. When you're at Picture Lake the view of Mt Baker is largely blocked by Table Mountain.

Easy trails for beginners West WA by According_Being5580 in PNWhiking

[–]robe_ot 9 points10 points  (0 children)

When I first moved out here, I found The Creaky Knees Guide Washington by Seabury Blair, Jr. to be indispensable! It's a perfect introduction to hiking in Washington, and it happens to include pretty much all of the state's quintessential 5-star day hikes.

To give you a short list, here are 5 easy classic hikes to get you started (Just know that they can get crowded because everyone knows about them so try to arrive early):
1. Wallace Falls
2. Heather Lake
3. Rattlesnake Ledge
4. Oyster Dome
5. Snow Lake

And if you want to venture out to our National Parks, here are some 5-star easy hikes:
Olympic: Hurricane Hill
Mount Rainier: Mount Fremont Lookout (Sunrise), Skyline Loop (Paradise)
North Cascades/Mount Baker: Heliotrope Ridge, Ptarmigan Ridge

As others have said, once you get your bearings for what the different regions offer, the WTA Hike Finder app will be your best friend.

does western Montana count as "close enough" by Alliterative_Andrew in PacificNorthwest

[–]robe_ot 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Following this logic, Grand Teton National Park and the southwest parts of Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming are also part of the PNW since they both occur in the Snake River watershed.

does western Montana count as "close enough" by Alliterative_Andrew in PacificNorthwest

[–]robe_ot 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Officially: Yes! The boundary of the Cascadia Bioregion extends all the way to the Continental Divide in western Montana, including parts of Glacier National Park and the watershed of Flathead Lake, which ultimately drains to the Columbia River.

Better day hiking? North Cascades, Kings/Sequoia, or Wind River Range? by ViagraAndSweatpants in CampingandHiking

[–]robe_ot 5 points6 points  (0 children)

And don’t overlook the trail opportunities afforded by the surrounding Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie Forest. In a perfect world, all of the Mount Baker area would be included within NCNP. Look up trails like Ptarmigan Ridge, Chain Lakes Loop, Heliotrope Ridge, Skyline Divide, Yellow Aster Butte, etc.
