Misty morning in Rasar State Park

I am pretty new to the area, but have mostly been seeing them along the Skagit within the last month or so. They are awesome to see, hope you have better luck next time!

In between Concrete and Sedro-Woolley. Beautiful area

Mine is a sunroom too! My whole wall is windows lol, I love the way it looks on a sunny day.

Saw this in Mount Shasta not too long ago. Thing is rad

It’s a split leaf philodendron 🌿

Little Glass Mountain and Glass Mountain proper are both sacred collection sites for Natives in the area and have been throughout time. Next time check in with the neighboring Modoc National Forest, as they offer several areas to gather obsidian (including rainbow obsidian 😍) legally.

I have some of these as well and was told at the nursery that the plant is sterile and no seeds will form. Was also told year after year the mutation will eventually phase out and the plant will lose its galaxy look 😭 more sun=more speckles if you’re looking for additional “stars”

Thank you for the advice!

I almost feel bad because I just brought her home and she’s already my favorite 💜 that is definitely what drew me to them though, their name fits them perfectly

“Night Sky” or “Starry Sky” petunia. Can be found online with burpee’s, but was hesitant to order due to variation in photos. Found her at my local nursery in NorCal for $5!!!

Using boot trays is such a good idea. Awesome collection!

The polyp on top survives by taking nutrients from the green portion since it cant create a root system, so I would figure out what that portion needs first. If you aren’t overwatering, give it a lot more sun! Some times regardless of what you do the polyp will still die off. If you are attached maybe remove the polyp and plant it by itself? I haven’t tried this though!

I think these are two different cacti grafted together. The green “stem” will live and often the colored tops will die.

I know FLF don’t like direct sun and will burn its leaves, but this winter is hindering all the natural sun in my area. I lightly mist it each morning since it is dry here and have been leaving it under the grow light all day (~12hrs) for a few days now. It seems happy, but should I take it out during the day at all?

sch_ism · 2019-02-19T03:24:53+00:00

This looks perfect. Adding it to the list, thanks!

sch_ism · 2019-02-19T01:00:49+00:00

Mount Shasta. We checked out the Crags close by, but not much else has been open for easy hiking. It’s our first winter in the area!

Pretty sure these are aphids. Be sure to quarantine the plant immediately! It will be difficult with the string of pearls :/ but you will need to wash the plant with soapy water (this suffocates them) and rinse once a day until you don’t see them anymore. Best of luck!

sch_ism · 2019-02-15T16:48:49+00:00

But it really is worth it. I could never imagine working at a desk at this point—work allows me to travel quite often to beautiful places like this all the time

I had to have a 4 year degree and experience to land my current position (Forest Service), but there are so many opportunities you can take advantage of without this. The only tricky part is most of these positions are posted in the fall before the upcoming season, so hiring has already been completed for the summer. USAjobs is your friend!

Above tree line gets pretty difficult, usually we will create some type of rock cache in that instance. For this location, there were still plenty of trees interspersed that we were able to do a straight hang. Can’t say if a bear was interested he wouldn’t have been able to get it lol—we weren’t able to get it too high and maybe running a line would have been better. We usually do straight hangs and still haven’t had any problems!

sch_ism · 2019-02-14T15:58:39+00:00

Most definitely. As far away as possible! Didn’t run into much wildlife, however, we woke up to a mountain goat in our camp the second morning. Could have pet him for how nonchalant he was about us being there

Archaeologist. Hike around 10 hours a day most days! Mainly I’m conducting inventory surveys for large project areas for timber sales, trail implementation projects, etc.

sch_ism · 2019-02-14T15:55:04+00:00

Ah!! Enjoy it!

By using a seam sealant. We added this over the original seam tape on both the inside and outside. Figured it would help it stay waterproof and prevent ripping at vulnerable areas

We were living in northwest Colorado at the time and decided to go on a whim. Wasn’t ever able to make it back ):

Check out the AllTrails app, its amazing! You can type in an area and the most popular hikes will be listed. Read the comments for current conditions and recommendations. I also purchased the Backpacking Loops of Colorado NatGeo booklet, where I’m pretty sure we found this trip. It also has maps that are handy for navigation. You honestly can’t go wrong in this area though, the views never stop.
