Preparing to Photograph the Sturgeon Supermoon from Walville Peak, Washington I’m all about spontaneous adventures and exploring the Pacific Northwest outdoors.

This year was the third year attending the annual PNW4WDA annual jamboree. As in years past, I volunteered to help ARB serve their annual Friday dinner for the event. This is always fun and a great group of people to work with. They do a great job of putting on the dinner.
