The Timberline Trail around Mt. Hood spans just over 40 miles—specifically 42 miles—with a cumulative elevation gain of about 8,000 feet. At the beginning of 2024, I decided this would be my big physical achievement for the year, and I committed to tackling it solo. Kaylyn appreciated the ambition but decided that three days andContinue reading “Solo on the Timberline Trail”

Olympic Peninsula
Our campsite was in a difficult campground to book, the Hoh Rainforest Campground. It was walking distance to the thick forest trail called the Hall of Mosses, where we almost got trampled by an elk in full sprint. Shi Shi Beach trail is apart of a 50 mile trail going along the coastline, we passedContinue reading “Olympic Peninsula”
Europe ’24 – Switzerland
It has been a lifelong dream to hike the mountains of Switzerland. It took about 5hrs of train to train connections from Paris to the car-free tiny mountain village of Wengen. Heading from Paris to the border town of Basel (the corner of Germany, France and Switzerland), we hopped on another train to Thun, anotherContinue reading “Europe ’24 – Switzerland”
Europe ’24 – Paris
After leaving London and passing under the English Channel, we arrived in our Parisian apartment in only three hours. We packed enough luggage to have room to bring home flea market ‘loot’ so that made the trip up the six flights of spiral stairs a little iffy. Luckily, there was the tiniest elevator that couldContinue reading “Europe ’24 – Paris”
Europe ’24 – London
After our trip in 2022, we desperately wanted to re-visit London and the flights made the most sense to take us through Heathrow before we made our way to Paris and then off to Switzerland. It was a quick 2 days and we packed in as much as we could summing up to these twoContinue reading “Europe ’24 – London”
The Battle of Waterloo
Ever since I was little, I enjoyed miniatures. Whether they were historical model ships or 28mm figures, I loved building and painting them. I decided to start up again and implement some higher level techniques to see how good I could get it to look. After much research on what interested me the most, IContinue reading “The Battle of Waterloo”
Halloween 2023
Our favorite time of year is upon us! Now that we have our own home to spookify, Trellis Place now has its best Halloween house. The front porch and inside are where we spend the most of our time setting up, with more candles than you might think is possible to have in one room.Continue reading “Halloween 2023”
Wright Reunion ’23 at Yosemite
What better place for a Wright family reunion than Yosemite National Park! We found the absolute perfect place to stay within the park boundaries but outside of the hustle-bustle of Yosemite Valley. Not only that, but it was a 2min drive from the road to Glacier Point, and 20min drive to the Valley entrance! KaylynContinue reading “Wright Reunion ’23 at Yosemite”
Hood, Adams, Rainier & Three Sisters
Summer of ’23 has given us an amazing opportunity to set off on new adventures around the mountains of Oregon and Washington. Closest to Hillsboro, Mt Hood is only 1.5hrs away. Our favorite spot there is Lost Lake situated at the base of the mountain with tents, yurts and cabins. Lost Lake, Mt Hood WeContinue reading “Hood, Adams, Rainier & Three Sisters”
Kenai Fjords National Park
Shortly after our return from Denali, we fit in one last adventure through the Kenai Fjords. This was the first time we experienced rain over our two week trip, so it made for a real Alaskan experience. Seas were rougher, water ran down the cliffs into the ocean, but sea life was exploding. We sawContinue reading “Kenai Fjords National Park”
