Let’s Take a Walk

Recently we have been going out on walks around the area here in Vancouver. The weather has been nice recently and we have enjoyed being outside.

One of the places we have gone a couple of times is down the Salmon Creek Trail. It is a nice trail that goes along Salmon Creek and sometimes you get to see some wildlife. One day we also took a side trip down Cougar Creek. We always like seeing the plants and animals.

We also did the trail at Fort Vancouver. That is always a place I like to go.

We also went with Dana’s brother, Anton, around a section of the Ridgefield NWR. We saw lots of animals, including a muskrat, blue herons, and a funny little bird called a creeper that climbs up the sides of trees.

A walk in Whipple Creek Park was also a lot of fun. There was a lot of wonderful moss to look at on all the big trees.

Hopefully we’ll be able to keep walking and find some new places to discover.

It looks like you guys are having so many fun adventures!! I'm keeping a growing list of all the fun places you go there. Someday I'd like to see those fun northwest places too.

Wow, what a gorgeous area; you guys have quite the scenery! Unfortunately it's far too cold and wet around here for a walk, I guess I'll have to enjoy it vicariously through you for now.
