I got a late state, but I was able to work in my bay-to-breakers hike.

I started the day with a Frontrunners walk.

Then I walked downtown with Hands Off.

I flew to San Diego this morning and was able to join my Meetup group with seconds to spare. We had a nice walk to the Coronado bridge and stopped for lunch on the way back.

Today I joined a Meetup group for a hike through the woods. It sprinkled some, but we had a good outing.

This morning I walked with my Meetup group. The “springs” are fed by water from the Rathdrum aquifer.

I started the day with a walk in Peaceful Valley with Frontrunners.

Then I visited Finch Arboretum since I missed the March visit with my Meetup group. No snow!

Today I joined a group for a stocking shift at Zilch Market – one the food bank resources provided by Second Harvest. Donated food is placed in a small store and qualifying organizations can come “shop” for free.

I joined a Meetup group for a hike at Glen Tana – a 1,060 acre reserve that is being held in trust before becoming part of the Washington State Park system. The reserve includes nearly two miles of land along the Little Spokane River.

Today I joined a Meetup group for a hike on the Emerald Necklace trail up Antoine Peak.

Today was the first “official” Frontrunner event for 2025. It was a beautiful day and we had a good turnout.

Today I joined a Meetup group for lunch and a visit to the Jundt Art museum.

The permanent collection includes several pieces by Dale Chihuly.

Today I did a food-packing shift at Second Harvest. We started with four 1800-pound bags of oats and ended with several pallets of 20-pound boxes. The oats will repackaged at distribution centers into packages for individuals or families.

Today I joined a group hiking to Rattlesnake Ridfe at Glen Tana Reserve – 1,060 acres of land that was once a dairy farm that is going to be annexed to Riverside State Park.

One of my Meetup Groups does volunteer work in the community. Today I worked at a mobile food bank distributing groceries at Spokane Falls Community College.

Canned corn, tomato soup, chili, canned salmon, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, fresh fruit (grapefruit, Granny Smith apples and Fuji apples), and a variety of bread products were given away.

Some of the “leftovers” were donated to the school’s food bank and the rest were loaded back in the truck for the day’s second mobile food bank.

Trees in my neighborhood.

After breakfast I drove to Spirit Lake, Idaho for a snowshoeing adventure.

Nice hike on my own today. Good weather and relatively close to home.

My afternoon hike on Centennial Trail was good – a little warmer and there were more people out.

It was 19° this morning, but Frontrunners had a good turnout for a walk in the park.

We’re having a warm spell, so I walked part of the Centennial Trail.

Today the Meetup group hiked Antoine Peak from the new Trentwood trailhead.
