I am getting excited planning this! I think I am going to take amtrack there (I love trains...and it is cheaper than the airfare from where I live) and then stay at the Green Tortoise Hostel in Seattle (I love Green Tortoise...so seems cool) I am fairly unclear just yet, without looking too hard, how to get from Seattle to the trail. I hope that part works out better than the JMT! That was a challenge for sure with no shuttle service.

Yesterday and Today, for you bay area folks, I drove up to MT Diablo with preschool families to have fun in SNOW! We are not well aquainted with the white stuff in these parts...without driving 4 hours to the sierras, so it was cool to drive just an hour and have some fun! brbrbrbrrrr it's cold for us californians this winter...at night it is getting to the low 30'S!!! Don't laugh you people from other white powder lands! hahahaha!
